About

A Nostalgic Winter on the Peninsula

Winter has arrived on the Peninsula - and the magic is officially here.

Cosy treats, twinkling lights and festive moments have landed in Peninsula Square, where our 10-metre Christmas tree is once again glowing at the heart of it all. Families, friends and neighbours are already gathering for winter strolls, festive meetups and those little moments that make the season special.

Winter Carousel & Market Quarter

A festive favourite returns. 

Step onto the beautifully restored vintage carousel - a whirl of hand-painted horses, warm lights and old-school charm. Whether you’re little or grown-up, there’s something wonderfully nostalgic about taking a spin under the winter sky. 

Afterwards, wander through the Market Quarter, where you’ll find cosy winter flavours and classic festive treats. Think cinnamon-dusted churros, bratwurst hot off the grill, crêpes, warm donuts, mulled wine and hot chocolate.  No bookings needed — just drop in, take a ride, grab a treat, and enjoy the atmosphere. 

On the festive menu: Churros, Swing Grill bratwurst, Crêpes & donuts, Bar with mulled wine & hot chocolate, Pick ’n’ Mix, and more. 

Perfect for family days out, post-work catch-ups or a winter date night. No need to book - just turn up, have a wander, and let a little winter magic brighten your day. 

 

Festive Moments & Surprises 

Around Peninsula Square, winter has officially arrived. Discover playful touches of nostalgia - from a charming newspaper-style photo booth to a classic teddy-bear prize moment for those feeling lucky. It’s a little extra magic to enjoy between rides, treats and meet-ups.
