On the rink: Posh and Becks at last year's event

5 April 2012

Advance tickets for London's largest ice rink have gone on sale.

The 1,300 square-metre rink in Hyde Park is part of the hugely popular Winter Wonderland event, timed to coincide with Christmas.

Last year the show attracted more than half a million visitors, including celebrity couples David and Victoria Beckham and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. And this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Returning for 2008 will be the Giant Toboggan snow slide, the 53- metre observation wheel and the authentic German market. New attractions include the Mir ror Maze, the Haunted Mansion, Sleigh Ride and the Bungy Dome.

For the little ones there are carousels and arts and craft stalls and the opportunity to meet Father Christmas at Santa's grotto.

Winter Wonderland, which is open 10am-10pm every day from 22 November until 4 January, is free to enter, with tokens for all rides and attractions available to buy on the day.

However, tickets for the ice rink, which is sponsored by London Lite, and giant wheel are available to purchase in advance at £7.50-£12.50.
