Your perfect winter day out
Whether you’re taking your first tentative steps onto the ice or you’re already confident on skates, our rink is designed for everyone to enjoy. Bring the family, gather your friends or make it a festive date – there’s nothing quite like ice skating to get you into the winter spirit.
For younger skaters finding their feet, our polar bear skating aids are available to hire, offering a little extra support (and a handy seat when little legs need a rest!).
Once your skating session is over, there’s no need to rush home. Warm up with seasonal food and drinks, spend some time soaking up the winter atmosphere around the lake, or take your visit to the next level with a trip to our Woodland Ice Bar – where temperatures drop as low as -12°C, complete with frozen ice sculptures, ice glasses and our ice luge.
From wobbly first laps to racing around the rink, rosy cheeks and warming up afterwards, it’s all part of a winter day out at Alderford.
