King Power Stadium will again be transformed into a ‘Winter Wonderland’ this December, as the home of Leicester City becomes one of the centrepieces of Leicestershire’s festive celebrations.

On the weekend of 8/9 December, the stadium will host a variety of exciting family attractions, including a giant ice rink, which will be open to both Leicester City supporters and the general public as we celebrate the arrival of the most wonderful time of the year.

Following the huge success of last season’s one-day event against Peterborough United, which welcomed over 25,000 people through the doors, this year looks set to be even bigger as the Winter Wonderland becomes a bumper ‘Winter Wonderland Weekender’.

Saturday will be exclusively open, free of charge, to supporters attending the day’s npower Championship match against Barnsley (11am-3pm), before the doors are opened to the general public on Sunday (10am-4pm). Admission to the ice rink will be through a donation to the LCFC Foxes Foundation (£2 for Adults and £1 for Under-18s) and all other Winter Wonderland attractions will be free.

This year’s exciting list of attractions includes:

Giant ice rink; live reindeer; festive food and drink; Snow Globe; Giant Snowman; Toboggan; Rodeo Reindeer ride; Carousel; live brass band.

The Winter Wonderland will also be paid a visit by a number of Leicester City legends, Club Ambassador Alan Birchenall and, of course, City’s much-loved mascot, Filbert Fox.

Leicester City’s Chief Executive Officer Susan Whelan said: “Last season’s Winter Wonderland welcomed a magnificent number of people to King Power Stadium in what proved a great way celebrate the festive season.

“It was that response from supporters that helped us to decide to make this an even more inclusive occasion and a weekend for the whole of Leicestershire to enjoy.

“It’s our chance to give something back to the community and thank the whole region for its support throughout the year and I’m sure it will be another weekend to remember.”

lol lol

Times have changed now in case you haven't noticed pal. Having this is a cracking form of marketing and needs to be done I assume.

What's wrong with it anyway chap? Care to elaborate?

Leicester City’s Winter Wonderland Weekend has just got even bigger, with one of Leicestershire’s best up-and-coming singers set to perform at King Power Stadium.

Following her appearance on BBC television show ‘The Voice’, Lutterworth-based Kate Read will make her debut appearance at King Power Stadium, as Leicestershire comes together to celebrate the festive season on Saturday and Sunday.

As a member of Team Will.i.am on the hit TV show, Kate has remained a close friend with her on-screen mentor – a world icon in the music business having worked alongside the likes of Usher, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj, Cheryl Cole and Michael Jackson to name just a few.

With the backing of one of the biggest stars in pop music, it is safe to say that big things could be on the horizon for the local singer. While under the wing of the innovative Black Eyed Peas front-man, Kate was compared to world-renowned artists Sade and Macy Gray.

“It is a great privilege to have been asked by the Club to perform, I can’t wait to play in front at the home of my local team,” Kate said on a visit to King Power Stadium this week.

“I am quite nervous about performing in front of such a big crowd, but am extremely excited to get out there.”

This weekend, King Power Stadium will host a variety of exciting family attractions, as the Foxes celebrate the arrival of the most wonderful time of the year. Attractions include:

Giant ice rink; live reindeer; festive food and drink; Snow Globe; Giant Snowman; Toboggan; Rodeo Reindeer ride; Carousel; live brass band.

Saturday will be exclusively open, free of charge, to supporters attending the day’s npower Championship match against Barnsley (11am-3pm and 5pm-7pm), before the doors are opened to the general public on Sunday (10am-4pm). Admission to the ice rink will be through a donation to the LCFC Foxes Foundation (£2 for Adults and £1 for Under-18s) and all other Winter Wonderland attractions will be free.

Kate will be joining us as part of the pre-match entertainments on the Winter Wonderland sound stage and will also be taking to the mic during half-time in front of the many supporters in attendance at the day’s Fans Fixture v Barnsley.

Tickets to the Fans Fixture against Barnsley are available from just £15 for Adults and Seniors, £10 for Under-22s, £5 for Under-12s and FREE for Under-8s in the Marks Electrical Family Stand.

Bloody hell, not another dreadful half time singer from another 2nd rate talent show.

Definitely won't be as bad as that Jamie Archer from the X Factor.
