Winter Wonderland is a-coming! Already, the perfect North Pole paradise has been set up in Hyde Park, with just hours until it opens its doors to the public.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is one of the biggest draws to London at Christmas time and attracts over a million visitors with its mind-boggling array of different attractions to suit every visitor's interests - whether it's a high-octane rollercoaster ride or a chilled beverage around a firepit... or an ice igloo, take your pick.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is offering an orange off-peak bundle with free entry on 16 selected dates from November 21 to January, between 10am and 2pm - saving visitors the £5 fee for standard entry. Find out what you need to below.
