George Street

Right in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, George Street transforms into a fun-filled winter paradise for Edinburgh’s Christmas. At its centre is the Ice Rink - the city’s largest open-air skating experience. Glide beneath a canopy of twinkling lights and soak up the festive spirit at the heart of the city. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a first-timer, it’s a picture-perfect way to celebrate the season!

For those looking to chill out in style, the Polar Ice Bar returns by popular demand. This frozen bar is sculpted entirely from ice, from tables and chairs to the glasses themselves, and is kept at a frosty –8°C. But don’t worry, jackets and gloves are provided to keep you cosy throughout your visit. 

And when it’s time for a breather, the Winter Warmers Zone is the ideal place to relax, refuel, and watch the skaters glide by with a hot drink in hand.

If you’re looking for some fun, festive activities, George Street is the place to be this winter!
