About the Event

Bring the whole family into the festive spirit at Cathedral Quarter Ice Rink, back in the city centre this Christmas.

Whether it's little ones taking their first wobbly steps on ice or grownups reliving their childhood glory days, there's something here for everyone. Our covered rink means the fun continues whatever the weather with plenty of rink side space for anyone who'd rather watch than skate.

Hourly sessions include skate hire, and we've got you covered for confidence too. Free standing skate aids are available for shaky starters and toddlers can use our free sit-on aids to join in safely.

Warm up afterwards with a hot chocolate or mulled wine from the Nordic Bar next door. Skate aids are first come first served, so arrive early to grab one.

Age Guidance

An adult must always accompany and supervise under 12s skaters on the ice (1 Adult to 5 Children). 12 to 14-year-olds must have a parent or guardian observing from the sides.

We strongly advise that all skaters taking part in the general skate sessions be over 5 years old however, 4-year-olds can go onto the ice during general skate sessions.

Toddler sessions are strictly for ages 5 and under and their parents or guardians.
