A large covered ice rink in Cathedral Gardens next to the Christmas markets, so it runs whatever the weather, with 45-minute skating sessions. For families there are quieter weekday Parent and Mini Skater sessions in the afternoon, calmer SEND sessions on Mondays, and children skate free on Tuesday afternoons until mid-December. You can change your booked date and time up to 24 hours before.
