This year, Newport has made it’s first ever Winter Wonderland festival. Located at the heart of Newport. This is a fun day event for families and friends.
This event is located at the Riverfront and where the former leisure centre use to be. The Newport Council has made this Christmas wish come true. Including partners such as Newport Now BID (Business Improvement District), Friars Walk, Newport Live, Kingsway Centre and Newport Market.
This includes attractions like Thomas the Tank Engine train rides, an ice rink, bumper cars, and numerous other rides for everyone to enjoy. It’s an event that stands out even from the outskirts of your community. People of all ages can partake in this friendly gathering. Moreover, entry is free!
After interviewing both Grandmothers in a ice rink, eating their gravy and chips in the cold. Micki and Allison were enjoying watching their grandchildren, skating in the ice rink and amazed by the atmosphere of the festive theme. They quoted: “It’s very good. Better than going to the Winter Wonderland in Cardiff...better to stay in our hometown instead.”
That's not the only attraction. Their stools are filled with a variety of festive snacks, including a stand for roasting marshmallows. You can grab a large marshmallow on a stick and toast it over the fire. What's not to love?!
So have yourself a very Merry Christmas and come see the festivities! Opens until 5th January 2025.
