Queues have formed ahead of the grand opening of Winter Wonderland Stoke-on-Trent 2025. The annual attraction opensed for the first time at 5pm on Friday 21 November.

An ice rink, rides and food and drink stalls are among the many attractions at Birch Terrace car park, in Hanley.

Entry is free with wristbands available for 'unlimited rides' over a four-hour period. It will run until Sunday, January 4
