London’s Alternative Festive Experience

Expect brilliant entertainment for all ages: skate on Clapham Common's first-ever Ice Rink, enjoy sensational street food from Street Feast, watch screenings of Christmas classics in Backyard Cinema's Winter Night Garden, play crazy golf on the UV-powered Plonk Golf course, ride the Big Wheel and grab gifts from our alternative Christmas market.
