Following the success of its inaugural Winter Wonderland in the car park of the arena last year, Rainton Arena has provided a socially-distanced version of the festive event which is running until January 3, 2021.

Children can enjoy a selection of fairground rides, an ice rink and a Santa’s Grotto, along with a food and drink market that is takeaway only.
