Celebrities turned out on 20th November to celebrate the magic of Christmas. The Preview was attended by stars including Penny Lancaster Stewart, Jenson Button, Mutya Buena, Lisa Butcher and Tom & Claire Chambers. A portion of each ice skating ticket goes to HELP A LONDON CHILD, with the organisers committing a minimum of £10,000 to this worthy charity.

Speaking at the event Penny Lancaster Stewart, who attended with her son Alastair, said:

“Winter Wonderland looks absolutely spectacular. The joy of it is that families can come along here, have a fantastic evening and at the same time go home knowing that they’ve helped Help a London Child.”

Since the Preview night, celebrities spotted with their families at WINTER WONDERLAND include Uma Thurman, Claudia Schiffer, Chelsea Captain John Terry, Elle Macpherson, Alan Shearer, Sugababe Heidi Range, Jade Goody, Atomic Kitten's Natasha Hamilton and Gail Porter.

Girls Aloud's Nicola Roberts, Harry Potter's Emma Watson and Big Brother twins Sam and Amanda Marchant have also been seen enjoying the festive fun! And Winter Wonderland has even had royal visitors in Princesses Eugenie & Beatrice and their mother, the Duchess of York.

London’s Metro newspaper sums up what you can expect ‘Setting the bar high with an all singing, all-dancing offering is Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland’ – we couldn’t have said it better ourselves!

WINTER WONDERLAND offers great fun for all the family including London's Biggest Open-Air Ice Rink and a giant 50 Metre Observation Wheel. Other attractions include the Haunted Mansion which promises to offer even more frights than last year, and the Giant Toboggan Snow Slide which is set to be even longer & faster and introducing the amazing Ice Palace Mirror Maze.

There will be traditional rides for younger children such as Carousels, a Helter Skelter, as well as more modern attractions including the Santa Express, Jet Planes and Cups & Saucers. For the more adventurous there is an Wave Swinger, a Sleigh Ride, themed simulators and numerous other attractions which will offer festive thrills for all ages.

A trip to WINTER WONDERLAND would not be complete without a visit to Father Christmas who will be on the bandstand with his elves every day right up until Christmas Eve. Voted 'Best Outdoor Experience' by Time Out's 'Good Santa Guide' a visit is absolutely FREE.
