Britain's What's On Event Guide
Cheltenham Ice Rink
Cheltenham's magical ice skating rink is returning, Friday 21 November - Sunday 4 January. Centrally located in the beautiful Imperial Gardens, the rink provides the perfect Christmas activity to make lasting memories with family and friends.
The real ice rink is indoors, so you don't need to worry about wet weather spoiling your festive fun and with regularly reconditioned ice, you are guaranteed a great skating experience.
Skaters of all ages from 3 years old are welcome and our rink is accessible for all, including wheelchair users. If skating is not for you, then enjoy a hot drink from our onsite cafe whilst watching skaters glide on the ice. Spectators are free.
We have themed sessions for skaters of all ages, needs and abilities, including Relaxed Glides specially designed for skaters with SEN, Adult Glides and special Character Sessions attended by princesses and superheroes.
