Nottingham Winter Wonderland takes over Old Market Square from Thursday 12 November to Thursday 31 December 2026 with a Christmas market, an observation wheel, a themed ice bar, an ice rink with a sky-skate path and festive food and drink.

Entry is free throughout the event, so you can soak up the atmosphere and browse the market stalls for nothing. The attractions – ice skating, the wheel, the ice bar and the rides – are ticketed separately.

The market stalls open 10am–6.30pm Sunday to Thursday and 10am–8pm Friday and Saturday until 11 December, with later closing in the run-up to Christmas. Everything is closed on Christmas Day.
