What's on over the Christmas holidays, day by day ›

Most soft play centres, trampoline parks and attractions close on Christmas Day, and many open shorter hours on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Boxing Day and the days before New Year are some of the busiest of the year, so book where you can.

Times here are only what each place has published for this Christmas, with the date we checked. Places that haven't published yet aren't listed; we check every week from November and add them as they do.
