The shopping centre has announced that its winter activities will return for Christmas 2025, with the ice rink opening on November 7 until January 4 2025.
Winterland, which will feature Christmas-themed rides, will open on November 8 and run until January 11 2026.
Both of these events will take place outside the Village, near Zizzi’s.
The undercover ice rink will host sessions every day until January 4 2025, excluding Christmas Day.
Quiet sessions and parent and toddler slots will be available, along with penguin and seal skating aids for young skaters.
Party nights will also return this year, featuring classic anthems to accompany the skating.
Those interested in the ice rink can purchase tickets now, with a 20 per cent early bird discount for a limited time.
Winterland will offer winter-themed funfair rides, including a brand-new for 2025 Traditional Waveswinger.
There will also be white-knuckle rides, and family favourites like bumper cars and waltzers.
A luminaire promenade and heart-shaped lighting will provide a festive backdrop, and the 40-metre observation wheel will return, giving visitors views over Bluewater and the surrounding parkland.
James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, said: “Christmas truly is one of the most magical times of the year here at Bluewater.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming back our much-loved Ice Rink and Winterland, which offer fantastic fun for all ages.
“Our festive attractions always prove incredibly popular, so we encourage guests to book early to guarantee their visits.
“We’ll also be announcing more information about our other activities taking place here this festive season in due course, so please keep an eye out for updates.”
The return of these attractions follows the opening of several festive pop-ups at Bluewater, including a Christmas Supermarket and official merch provider, Fan Club, which are located on the Upper Rose Gallery, alongside Christmas Magic on the Upper Thames Walk.
Tickets for the Ice Rink are now on sale.
