Family Ice Skating with Snowman Skating aid

A winter activity for everyone

Enjoy this classic festive activity with the whole family! Whether you're challenging one another to a race, linking arms to find your balance or watching from the cosy Woodland Cafe, it's the perfect way to make special memories. 

Ice skating also makes a magical winter date night, step onto the ice with your special someone and glide into the festive season together.

Or gather a group of friends and hit the ice for a festive get together - laughter and fun guaranteed on the ice! Complete your visit with a wander around our sparkling Winter Illuminations.

Skate whatever the weather

Although our rink is outdoors, you'll be protected from the elements under a roof, so the rain can't spoil your skating adventure.

So, wrap up warm and glide through the crisp air this winter on our 630 square meter rink, admiring the view across the parkland.
