Best Christmas/events in London & the Home Counties

[ploopsie]

Hello all,

Can anyone recommend the best family friendly Christmas events they have visited eg markets, experiences, activities. I'm in London but happy to travel.

Winchester Christmas market is good but can get very busy. Best to arrive by train as parking is park and ride on the outskirts.

Kew Gardens winter lights?

Audley end train and lights are meant to be brilliant.

Lights at Blenheim recommended to us so going this year

We did winter wonderland in Hyde Park last year, kids loved it, rides far too expensive though would not do it again which is a shame as the atmosphere was good

Ooh we did Winchester last weekend, my first visit to the city, it was lovely.

Kew I've done a few yrs ago but was thinking of going again.

Winter Wonderland i've done without kids but the crowds put me off tbh.

Will investigate Audley & Blenheim.

The Natural history museum are doing a dino snore xmas special sleepover but mine are too young.

Thank you!

Kew Christmas Lights
Trafalgar Square carols
Lots of lovely events at the Royal Albert Hall including one where you meet Father Christmas
Bach to Baby and Baby Broadway do Christmas concerts for under 5s (prefer the latter)
There’s usually reindeer at Covent Garden I think?
