About This Event
Kielder Winter Wonderland turns Kielder Waterside into a full-day festive adventure aimed mainly at children aged about three to ten. Families help out in the elves' workshop, follow an enchanted forest trail to meet Father Christmas, and watch shows in the Christmas theatre, with the option of a letter from Father Christmas. It runs on 28 and 29 November and 5, 6, 12, 13 and 19 to 23 December 2026. The site opens at 9:30am with activities from 10am to 5pm, and each booking has a timed slot. Tickets are £44.50 for adults and children aged 2 and over, and £10 for under-2s. Saturday 28 November is a relaxed day for families with additional needs, with reduced capacity, lower noise and lighting and autism-aware staff. There is a cafe, parking and step-free access.
