This December, Doncaster Racecourse transforms into a full-throttle alpine playground exclusively for adults. The exciting new upgrade to our well-loved Christmas Live!
Step inside our fully covered Après Ski Village for the ultimate shared Christmas party and leave the everyday behind. From the moment you arrive, experience timber chalets, twinkling lights, and festive scents. The hum of music and laughter wrap around you, transporting you straight to the peaks of the Alps.
At the heart of the village is an Après Ski-inspired main stage, alive with DJs, dancers, saxophonists, and roaming performers. A catwalk and side stages bring the action into the crowd. Every event is an unapologetic alpine party where you are part of the show, not just watching it. Around the main stage, a winter playground designed entirely for grown-ups awaits. Alpine bars serve cocktails, spiced liqueurs, and ice-cold beers.
For the first time, we’re offering two dining options across our events. Simply choose your preferred date to select between indulging in a delicious three-course meal or enjoying indulgent festive comfort food from our street food traders to fuel your Christmas night out.
For those seeking the ultimate alpine experience, the VIP area rises above the crowd at the centre of the room. Exclusive seating, unbeatable views of the main stage, and champagne delivered via zip wire make it the perfect spot to celebrate in style.
No slopes. No snow. No skis required. Just energy, attitude, indulgence, and a little bit of naughtiness. Everything you could want from your Christmas party in Doncaster. Turn up. Let loose. Make it yours. Experience après ski like an Alpine legend.

Inspired by the legendary Après Ski Parties across the Globe, this is the heartbeat of the entire village. This is the showpiece. The headline act. The reason you stay all night.
Our purpose built Après Ski Main Stage delivers full afterski party energy at festival scale. A DJ commands the balcony above, driving the soundtrack from the heart of the action, while the main stage below explodes with sound, lights and movement.
A catwalk runway and extended side stages push the performance deep into the crowd, blurring the line between audience and show. You are not watching it. You are in it.
Each main stage show features a live DJ set hosted by our resident MC, backed by high energy dancers, live saxophone and roaming performers who take over tables, platforms and every available surface.
It is immersive. It is outrageous. It is unapologetically Après.
Step inside one of our private karaoke booths and belt out everything from power ballads to festive classics with your crew. No judgement. Just pure après energy and unforgettable group memories.
Because every après ski party needs a headline act.
Our indoor Alpine Ski Roller Rink brings winter nostalgia right into the heart of the village. With music and lights, it is the perfect place to show off your moves, glide with friends or simply try to stay upright.

Spin. Slide. Roll. Repeat*

Right outside our tipi, you will find Marshmallow Land, a dedicated fire pit area where you can smoulder giant mallows on sticks over open flames. Toast them golden, let them melt, or sandwich them into gooey festive treats.
