If you’re looking to spice up those winter months with an exciting schedule of events, then Wembley Park is the place to be. From music to comedy, farmers’ markets to top sports events and plenty of festive magic along the way, there’s every reason to head to London during the colder months. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at what there is to look forward to.
Comedy Shows
This winter, some of the world’s most famous comedy acts will be bringing their humour to OVO Arena Wembley. This includes Ricky Gervais, who will be performing his new show, Mortality, as part of his sold-out UK tour. Following the success of his former stand-up shows including ‘Humanity’, ‘Supernature’ and ‘Armageddon’, Gervais is back with even more dark humour that regularly features modern and trending themes. Jimmy Carr: Laughs Funny will also head to OVO Arena Wembley in December for a brand-new live tour. Featuring special guests, this show is set to be full of fast-paced, edgy one-liners that are sure to bring more than a few laughs.

Theatre
The current run of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical, Starlight Express, has been extended until 1 March 2026. This high-energy show is great for the whole family, telling the story of a child’s train set which comes to life. With dazzling costumes, catchy numbers and breathtaking stunts, it’s the perfect way to brighten up a dreary winter afternoon.
Live Music
Wembley is well-known for hosting some of the best global music talents, and this winter Mika will be performing at OVO Arena Wembley. Mika, The Spinning Out Tour will hit the stage on 12 February 2026. The tour supports his upcoming album which has been described as a “gloriously unselfconscious, synth-laden dance album” with kaleidoscopic energy and emotional depth.
Punchdrunk Enrichment: Fireside Tales
Join Punchdrunk Enrichment for Fireside Tales, a new immersive experience in Wembley Park this winter. As the nights draw in and the mercury drops, children and their grown-ups are invited to step into a world where ‘stories flicker like flames and imagination keeps them burning bright.’ It’s a show about storytelling, honouring the ones we pass down and the ones we forget – and what happens when we take the time to listen. There are multiple show dates and times, so if you’re little ones are creative and enjoy an array of stories, this is the event for them.
