This December, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park launches Winter Adventure – a new festive
tradition that will bring the Park to life with seasonal events, inviting visitors to explore its
spaces in new ways while celebrating the spirit, creativity and vibrant communities of east
London and the Park’s partners.
Running daily from Monday 01 December to Wednesday 24 December 2025, the Park will open a different door each evening at 6:00pm, revealing a surprise festive moment at one of 24 locations across the Park – from its Olympic and Paralympic sporting venues and restaurants to community hubs and East Bank cultural institutions.
The programme will culminate on Wednesday 24 December, when the final door opens at 12:00pm for a musical finale.
Bringing together places, partners and people across the Park, the free programme offers
something for all ages and interests – from live music, performances and installations to
community gatherings, sporting activities and festive food and drink.
The inaugural Winter Adventure has been made possible through the generous support of
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s partners and contributors, including sponsorship from
community partner Kilnbridge and in-kind contributions from supporting partners idverde UK, London Stadium and Wasserman.
