Festive Family Fun

From 25 November, W5 is decking the halls for some magical family fun this Christmas. On selected dates across the festive period, you can get involved in an indoor snowball fight, help to spread the Christmas cheer at our North Pole Post Office and scale the heights of our Christmas-themed Climbit.

Round up all the family and be immersed in our brand-new, live-action theatre show that sees Santa adopt a very different approach to delivering presents on Christmas Eve.

Plus, don't miss our new family-friendly, walk-through experience, Ghosts of Winterly Manor.

Find out what's happening this Christmas at W5 below.

Santa and the Great Christmas Upgrade

It seems our robot elves have convinced Santa that he needs to modernise his operations, completely upgrade his equipment and take a more technological approach to present delivery this Christmas. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Find out in our magical theatre show that features Santa, robots and high adventure! If Santa can save the day, he might even have a present for all paying children in the audience.

Please note: this is an add-on experience. Tickets can be purchased when booking your general admission tickets.

Ghosts of Winterly Manor

Launching 2 December, don't miss our brand-new, family-friendly experience - Ghosts of Winterly Manor.

For centuries there has been a tradition of wiling away the long Christmas nights by huddling around the hearth and telling ghost stories.

This winter, W5's immersive AMAZE space will be transformed into the haunted Winterly Manor. Using a wide range of special effects, screen and holographic projections, lighting, immersive soundscapes and set works, watch as we bring Winterly Manor to life - or should we say…to afterlife!

Snowball Fight

Let the fun begin and the snowballs fly! Ever wondered what it might be like to have a snowball fight indoors? Well, now you can! It may look like real snow but don't worry - there is no chance of getting frozen fingers. Our warm, dry and soft snow is really cool - but not in a cold way!

Our Snowball Fight is free with general admission to W5.
