Blow away the cold with a bracing winter run

If working up a sweat is your ideal winter activity, then why not try the Milton Keynes Half Marathon? Being held on the 10th December, this 13.1. mile run will see over 2000 participants taking on the streets of Milton Keynes. With a scenic course that runs around the city and follows the canal and through the parks, you could even do your bit for charity by fundraising.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Whatever the weather’s doing outside, in Xscape it’s always snowing. Their indoor snow slope, Snozone, is the perfect place to hop on a board and hit the slopes. Learn to ski and snowboard with real snow. Suitable for all ages and abilities, it’s a great place to learn a new skill as well as have fun. With a cinema, bowling alley, indoor skydiving and plenty of restaurants, it’s the perfect place to spend a miserable December day.

Don’t forget your glass slipper

Everyone loves a pantomime. Oh yes they do! There’s something in there for everyone. With funny characters and bright costumes for the children and jokes and innuendos in there for the grown-ups. This year Cinderella comes to Milton Keynes theatre from the 9th December until the 14th January. Starring Brian Conley and Gok Wan, it’s sure to be a hilarious retelling of one of the world’s most loved fairy tales.

Meet Father Christmas

Father Christmas will be making a trip to his grotto in Bletchley Park this year. From the 2nd – 23rd December, Father Christmas will be in his 1940s style grotto handing out presents to children. There will also be festive crafts and music to enjoy too and why not take a look around the iconic estate where the German enigma code was cracked?

Wander through the wintry wilderness

If a wintry walk is more your cup of tea, visit Sharpenhoe. This ancient woodland has fantastic views across the Chiltern Hills. With remains of an Iron Age fort and the apparently haunted chalk cliffs of Sharpenhoe Clappers, it’s the perfect place to get back to nature.
