Derby Market Place Ice Rink Opens

The Ice Rink is back for 2022 as part of Festive Derby.

Nothing says Christmas more than a spin around an ice rink followed by a hot chocolate or mulled wine. Whether you’re looking for some festive family fun, a work’s Christmas party with a difference or an activity with friends, our ice rink is a great option.

Strut (or skate) your stuff on our real ice rink, covered to protect you from the elements, but with a viewing platform and windows so that spectators can join in the fun by relaxing amongst the twinkling lights and listening to the festive playlist.

Adults and children of all abilities can enjoy whizzing around on the ice in our hourly sessions, with prices including skate hire. Skate aids will be free to borrow and are available on a first come first served basis.

There are a number of planned sessions, from a toddler session at 2pm, to evening 90s sessions. Click the event website link to find out more and to book.
