West Midlands’ biggest Christmas event is set to return with more attractions than ever before.

Winter Glow, the West Midlands’ biggest festive experience, has announced it will return to the Malvern Showground for Christmas 2024, promising even more magic than ever before.

Open from Friday 22 November to Saturday 31 December, the festive event will offer locals six weeks of unforgettable Christmas cheer with a wide array of festive activities to enjoy, including brand-new additions for 2024.

UV Glow Crazy Golf

Visitors will be able to challenge their loved ones to a game of glow-in-the-dark mini golf on Winter Glow’s new 18-hole course, featuring elf-themed UV designs and plenty of surprises along the way.

Personalised Santa’s Grotto Experience

The beloved Santa’s Grotto will return with two new elves, Tinker Toymaker and Frosty Wanderer, offering an immersive adventure into a winter wonderland. Groups of up to eight can enjoy a personalised experience that includes a visit to Mrs Claus’ bakery, the toy workshop, and a winter village, before an unforgettable meeting with Santa himself.

Expanded Light Trail

Winter Glow’s renowned light trail takes on a brand-new theme for 2024, as it introduces ‘The Light Guardians’. Designed and created by local artists and lighting designers, the trail will transport visitors on a mesmerising adventure through dazzling illuminations.

The Region’s Largest Covered Ice Rink

Visitors will also have the opportunity to skate along to festive classics on the region’s largest covered real ice rink. Decorated with twinkling lights and giant snowflakes, the rink is the perfect place to get into the Christmas spirit.

Fairground Fun for All Ages

From the iconic big wheel to Dodgems, a festive funhouse, bungee trampolines, and classic fairground games, Winter Glow’s fairground promises endless entertainment for the young and the young-at-heart.
