Elf, the Musical

What’s a London Christmas, without Somerset House‘s iconic ice rink? Skate around the grand neoclassical courtyard on this huge, 900-square-metre outdoor rink, with a 40ft Christmas tree plonked in the middle for maximum Insta-potential. This year’s instalment has got a Swiss theme, with hearty, cheesy classics available at onsite restaurant Chalet Suisse. Plus, the venue’s legendary Skate Lates are back, bringing ice-cool DJs to the rink after dark. For more info click here.
SteamLights at The Bluebell Railway
Brighten up the chilly winter evenings with a seasonal lights spectacular!
Before boarding, witness the new, big switch-on performance as the darkness of Sheffield Park Station is lit up.
Board for the magical journey and be seated in the luxury of your own compartment with your party. You can even add a special SteamLights picnic box (collected from the Bessemer Arms bar before boarding the train.)
Journey through the Sussex countryside under the cover of darkness, bringing shimmering light and colour as you go. Along the way, enjoy new festive-themed scenes among the trees and clearings and a colourful light show orchestrated in time with music. A multi-sensory feast, and a magical way to experience the Sussex countryside at Christmas.
Christmas Afternoon Tea At Warwick Castle
Enjoy a festive afternoon tea with your loved ones, and as a bonus, enjoy access to Warwick Castle and gardens beautifully decorated for the festive season!
