Those wintery scenes from our favourite Christmas films, of grabbing your skates and gliding along ice where just a short while before there was none are etched in all our minds! This is brought each year to the heart of Edinburgh where you can glide along our purpose-built ice rink, amongst the city's historic streets that tell tales of centuries of their own festive cheer.
From the wannabe-professional figure skater, the daring independent child speeding along on their own, the Bambi on ice and the “I'll push off at the next turn” barrier huggers our ice rink will bring memories for a lifetime.
From a family day out, a break between the girls shopping trip or a romantic little date for two (or more...), grab your skates and meet us on the ice.
Then relive the pirouettes - intended or not – in the Winter Warming Bar after.
We provide Relaxed sessions, for those who need a little more space to enjoy and something kinder on the senses. We also host Toddler sessions, for wee ones who are too small for the skates in public sessions and Late Skates, for adults looking for a bit of a boogie on the ice.
- Children 12 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult (18+), no babes in arms. Any children attending a Standard session must fit a minimum child size 8 shoe - we will have designated sessions for the wee ones
- Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult after 8 pm
