About the Event

Come in from the cold into the Nordic Bar, hosted in three festive tipis.

Gather your friends and family together this festive season. Wooden benches, stunning festive foliage arrangements, disco balls and twinkling lights will welcome you in for a seat by the firepit . Relax and enjoy a delicious range of hot and cold drinks, from cocktails to mocktails and mulled wine to hot chocolate.

Why not visit our on site food vendors and enjoy your food in the warmth of the tipi with your Nordic drink.

There will also be a programme of entertainment taking place including music, children’s entertainment, quiz nights and more !

Closes each evening after the Ice Rink.
