The Southbank Centre's Winter Festival is back!


Spellbinding shows, live music and choirs, luminous art, festive family fun and a charming Winter Market are all part of the fun at the Southbank Centre's Winter Festival, which is now in full swing.

Wander alongside the Thames beneath twinkling lights to browse the Winter Market, where you can pick up Christmas gifts, street food and warming drinks. Alternatively, swing by one of the festive pop-ups, and try your hand at alpine-themed curling at The Curling Club, or toast marshmallows at Fire & Fromage.

Continue into the Southbank Centre for a seriously impressive line-up of shows for the whole family. Little ones can see Bluey, Bingo and co. come to life in Bluey's Big Play, while slightly older children will be entranced by the puppets, projections and live music of The House With Chicken Legs. Enjoy Nutcracker at the Tuff Nutt Jazz Club, or Reuben Kaye's comedy and cabaret at the Purcell Room. There are plenty of free parties too, including Heart n Soul's Winter Rave, Pxssy Liquor's Office Christmas Party, and Kids' Countdown with Len Blanco, during the day on New Year's Eve.

That's just the tip of the iceberg of the Southbank Centre's Winter Festival, which is running until 7 January 2024. Tap the big blue button to discover the full, eclectic line-up, and get planning your winter.
