Festive Big Wheel Returns To Winter Glow this Christmas 2025


Winter Glow 2025

Winter Glow Brings Back Big Wheel And Affordable Tickets For Christmas 2025

Winter Glow announces Big Wheel’s return to Three Counties Showground

The Big Wheel is set to return to Winter Glow, the West Midlands’ biggest multi-attraction festive experience, at the Three Counties Showground following popular demand. The popular attraction, standing at 120ft tall, will offer panoramic views of the showground and the surrounding area.

Running from Friday 21st November to Wednesday 31st December, Winter Glow will transform the showground into a festive wonderland for over five weeks of Christmas joy.

The event promises to deliver even more magical experiences in 2025, with its most affordable ticket offering ever available to make it easier for even more local families to create unforgettable moments this Christmas. Alongside the Big Wheel, the event will feature four other attractions:

Ice Skating
Attractions include the West Midlands’ largest covered ice rink. Decorated with twinkling lights and giant snowflakes, the rink is the perfect place to skate along to Christmas classics.

Light Trail
Winter Glow’s breathtaking light trail spans more than 2km and includes over 20 mesmerising light installations. This year, there will be more SEN and dog-friendly dates than ever before, and a new any day ticket option. This will provide families with more flexibility to plan their visit around the unpredictable British weather and busy schedules.

Personalised Santa Experiences
The original event in the region to offer personalised Santa’s Grotto experiences, families are invited to explore Father Christmas’ magical Winter Village, Mrs Claus’ bakery, and take part in a circus skills workshop with Santa’s elves, before meeting the big man himself.

UV Golf
Back for 2025, the 18-hole glow-in-the-dark mini golf course features elf-themed UV designs and fun challenges for the entire family.

Plus, families can find unique gifts at Winter Glow’s Christmas market and enjoy locally made meals at the food court, including Brisket Brothers and the Groovy Greek.

“Following feedback from hundreds of families about their love for the Big Wheel, it was a no-brainer to bring it back to its home at Winter Glow for 2025, and we're delighted to pair its return with our new, more affordable ticket offering,” explains Chris Tarren, Managing Director at Winter Glow. “Our goal is to ensure even more families can experience the magic and create lasting festive memories. I can't wait to welcome everyone back later this year to spread Christmas cheer once again."
