Christmas at W5

About

Step into a world of wonder as the spirit of the season takes over every corner of W5. From magical storytelling sessions and indoor snowball fights to festive quizzes and creative crafts, there's something to fill every heart with holiday cheer.

Make your way to Santa's Workshop in AMAZE, where cheerful elves will reveal the Naughty or Nice List before guiding families to a glowing grotto for a special one-on-one moment with Santa himself, complete with a gift and photo opportunity to treasure.

Then, snuggle up for Festive Fables in Over the Hills & Far Away, where Christmas tales are brought to life in a cosy storytelling setting. Test your Christmas knowledge in The Great Christmas Quiz, spread kindness at the Christmas Card Corner, and get ready for some frosty fun with indoor Snowball Fights.

With twinkling lights, laughter around every corner, and festive surprises waiting to be discovered, W5 is the perfect place to make magical memories together this Christmas.
