Kids In The City
Usually held each Thursday of the Christmas half-term in Kingston town centre (N.B. depending on when Christmas falls this could change). Lots of free activities usually on offer including craft workshops, story-telling, face painting, boat rides, hunts and more.
Kingston
As much fun for grown-ups as it is for kids. Brimming with everything Christmassy, this is a must. Open from November to January (check exact dates on their website). From fairground rides and games to ice skating; a 60m ferris wheel to cosy bars; traditional Christmas market stalls to an Ice Kingdom; cheesy Christmas carols to a Victorian bandstand - there really is something for everyone. Free to enter but all activities are chargeable.
