Whether you're planning a family day out, searching for the perfect gift, catching up with friends over festive food and drink or enjoying a winter walk around the lake, there's so much to discover this Christmas.

🎄 FREE Christmas Trail

From 23rd November to 3rd January, little explorers can take part in our FREE Christmas Trail, with two adventures designed for different age groups. Every child who completes the trail will receive a special festive treat just for taking part, and there are fantastic prizes to be won throughout the season, including weekly Rushden Lakes Gift Card giveaways and grand prize draws.

🎅 Santa's Yellow Bus

Joining us for the very first time from 14th -18th December, Santa's Yellow Bus is a unique festive experience that's completely free to visit. Step aboard for a magical message from the North Pole, enjoy festive photo opportunities and, later in the day, meet Santa himself for a truly memorable Christmas experience.

✨ Festive Fayre Returns

Our Festive Fayre returns to Central Boulevard from 21st November to 3rd January, bringing festive charm to the heart of Rushden Lakes. Browse traditional wooden chalets decorated with twinkling lights and Christmas trees, discover unique gifts, and enjoy seasonal favourites including churros, German sausages, fudge, sweets and mulled wine.
