The Nottingham Christmas Market and Winter Wonderland festive attractions will return in 2024 for your chance to enjoy a wide range of festive treats and experiences all winter! Dates are yet to be confirmed. The 60ft Christmas tree in the Old Market Square will once again be the focal point for the city’s Christmas events, as well as the giant observation wheel to whisk visitors 33m up into the air, with stunning views over the city’s rooftops. For the thrill sekers out there, you will also be able to ice-skate above the crowd on an elevated ice rink! For those who prefer to stay closer to ground level, there is also a ground level ice rink where you will also find the not to be missed Ice Bar. The temperature drops to minus 10 degrees, but gloves and coats are provided and it’s a super popular experience. Book early to avoid disappointment!
