The spectacular Cheltenham Ice Rink will return from Friday 17 November 2023 to Monday 1 January 2024. Located in Imperial Gardens in the heart of Regency Cheltenham – reflecting the town’s historic Winter Gardens and indoor roller skating rink that once occupied a site here.
The modern-day version will be undercover, offering a memorable festive experience in all weathers, for skaters of all ages and abilities. With capacity for over 100 skaters at a time, relaxed skating sessions for SEND visitors, and discounts for schools and group bookings, the fully wheelchair-accessible ice rink offers a fun activity for everyone.
We can offer group booking discounts for groups of 20 or more, or you can go all out and hire the whole rink for your celebration. Exclusive hire is available during off-peak sessions for £1,500 inc. VAT. Each one-hour session can accommodate up to 200 skaters.
But that’s not all Cheltenham has in store for the festive season! On Thursday 16 November, the town will be set aglow with thousands of twinkling lights and live performances at the town centre Christmas Launch, followed by two further festive events - The Brewery Quarter’s Christmas Launch Party and Pittville Pump Room’s light switch on – both events taking place on Saturday 25 November.
