The Winter Gardens will open from November 15, 2025 to January 4, 2026, at the park in Beckenham.
The event will include the borough’s first covered indoor ice rink, a Christmas market, and performances by the Revel Puck Circus, an award-winning circus company founded in East London.
Visitors can also try out a nine-hole crazy golf course by Plonk Golf, enjoy a variety of food stalls, and take a spin on one of the over 15 traditional and festive-themed fairground rides.
The Winter Lodge, a dedicated hub, will have three separate areas for adults, families, and games.
The adults-only Winter Lodge will serve mulled wine, seasonal cocktails, and craft beer, and offer a quieter retreat with live acoustic music and festive DJ sets.
The Winter Lodge Rascals will be a family-focused zone, featuring board games, Christmas films, and festive music.
The Hideaway, which is open to all ages but particularly suited for teens and adults, will have table tennis, pool, shuffleboard, and UV gaming sessions at weekends.
Lewisham’s first all-weather covered ice rink will be the event’s main attraction, with themed sessions planned throughout the season.
For those who enjoy shopping, the Christmas market will feature more than 15 stalls offering handmade gifts, local crafts, and seasonal food and drink.
O’ Christmas Tree, London’s premier Christmas tree retailer, will also provide a selection of trees and decorations.
Foodies can look forward to a range of options, from Yorkshire wraps and gourmet burgers to doughnuts, churros, crepes, and a traditional sweet shop.
Dog owners will be pleased to know that the entire site is dog-friendly, with complimentary pup-a-chinos available for the four-legged visitors.
They can also visit Eddie’s Dog Shop in the Homestead Courtyard.
The Winter Gardens is supported by Lewisham Council and aims to be a ‘welcoming winter destination for everyone in Lewisham and beyond, offering a diverse experience where families, adults, and friends can all find their own space to enjoy the festive season’.
