Roll
up! Roll up! For all the fun of the fair! Silcock’s Winter Wonderland features four hours of
non-stop fun and entertainment for children at UK’s largest indoor Christmas theme park. After
a four year gap, Kingpin Events has transformed the indoor exhibition space of
22,000 square metres into a fun-packed fairground featuring over fifty family
rides and attractions all under one roof with dodgems, rollercoasters, waltzers, a mini train track and many other children’s rides.
Fake snow was falling as we entered and we
were greeted by elves and fairies; there was a pre-event show taking place on
stage as we queued to enter the main event; local talented youngsters
entertained us with songs and dancing and then it was on to the fairground
rides and making decisions which queue to join. Father Christmas’s grotto was first on the list complete with reindeers,
with a meet-and-greet visit with Santa and the customary grotto toy gifts. There
was also an option to join in the photo opportunity with Father Christmas in
the Toy Workshop.
The
panto, 'The Wizard Of Oz' was being performed on a nearby stage and this proved to be
a popular event. Dorothy and her
companions, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the cowardly Lion featured on their
adventures in the land of Oz protected from the Wicked Witch of the West by the
magical powers of the Good Witch. The production included favourite sing-a-long
tunes.
There
were also other theatrical shows on the main stage including TV stars Daisy and
Ollie, 'The Ice Princess Show' and 'Christmas Meltdown'. We decided on the Christmas Circus which
thrilled with jugglers and other usual circus acts.
As
Christmas songs rang out, the blow-up Disney bouncy castle and slides proved
popular, as were the many rides and games stalls which included Hook-a-Duck,
Archery, Shooting Gallery, Sudden Impact and Football Hot Shots.
An abundance of food and drinks stalls
were available with German sausages, pizza, donuts, ice cream, waffles, crepes,
kiddie’s sweets, coffee and a carvery stall plus an authentic German Bar for
alcoholic drinks and refreshments.
This Christmas event proved a top
attraction in Manchester for five years from 2013-2017 becoming one of the
city’s biggest annual events and now the much-loved attraction has returned
bigger and better than before proving to be an unmissable festive family
adventure.
Youngsters can get into the Christmas
spirit and enjoy four hours of non-stop festive fun and entertainment; all
rides are included in the entrance ticket price, excluding games and food
stalls, and there is the added bonus of 3,000 free car park spaces.
Winter Wonderland is probably best
enjoyed by youngsters aged five upwards and is available up to Sunday 2nd January 2022.
