Winter Festival

Let the cheer spread from ear to ear as you reconnect at our Winter Festival, finding fun inside our venues and around our glittering site.

Stroll along the Thames under twinkling lights and sample indulgent drinks, scrumptious street food and seasonal goodies at our Winter Market.

Spine-tingling shows
Bring the family to Circus 1903 for all the spectacular thrills and daredevil spills of the golden age of the big top.

Or catch Broadway cheerleading musical Bring It On as it backflips into the UK – a must-see for fans of the films that inspired this all-singing, all-cheering show.

For the adults, post-punk pioneers The Tiger Lillies present a dark musical twist on Charles Dickens’ classic Christmas tale.

Radiant art
While you’re soaking up the atmosphere of our site, you’re bound to be enthralled by our radiant outdoor Winter Light exhibition. There’s more to see inside the Hayward Gallery too, as Mixing It Up continues.

Christmas cheer
Once the festive season gets into full swing, pop by for mindful crafting, community singing, Christmas concerts and free jives for all ages. Plus, don’t miss Ida Barr beckoning in the New Year at our Kids’ Countdown.
