A Momentum supported family enjoy Winter Wonderland

The popular London attraction provided complimentary tickets to ‘Winter Wishes’ a private, closed-to-the-public session, giving families exclusive access to rides and attractions free of charge.

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland has been bringing festive joy to Londoners and visitors from around the world since 2007. What began as a modest open-air Christmas market has evolved into a dazzling celebration filled with ice skating, spectacular shows, thrilling roller coasters, street-food stalls and live music.

Many of the families we support miss festive traditions that so many people can easily take for granted. With reduced capacity and a calmer, lower-sensory environment, ‘Winter Wishes’ offered a rare opportunity for families to enjoy the festive experience in a way that felt comfortable, accessible, and memorable.

The special day featured enhanced accessibility measures including reduced lighting and sound levels, low-sensory skating on the open-air Ice Rink and audio guides in the Magical Ice Kingdom.

One Momentum family who attended said: “It gave my daughter an amazing start to Christmas as last year she had a multi-organ transplant and was in hospital. We are very grateful to have been given the tickets. It was an exciting thing we haven’t done before and would not have been able to afford.”

Another family added: “It was something different and we had so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity to go to this event.”

We are incredibly grateful to the team at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland for their generosity – giving families the chance to create special memories means so much.
