Anticipation is building as Nottingham’s Winter Wonderland prepares to open for Christmas 2022. The centrepiece of the city’s festive celebrations, the Winter Wonderland is set to play host to attractions including an ice rink and toboggan slide.
Organised by the Mellors Group in conjunction with Nottingham City Council, the 2022 Winter Wonderland will offer festive revellers 60 stalls selling delicious food and fun Christmas gifts. Visitors will even be able to skate for 400m on the Sky Skate ice path.
