Clarks Village will host an ‘elf-tacular’ launch for its festive ice rink this season, with free skating tickets up for grabs.
Last Christmas, the Somerset shopping outlet held the World’s Biggest Santa Skate – aiming to make history for the most Santas on ice. This year, they’re going bigger, brighter and more magical; with ELVES.
Launching the festive ice rink at Clarks Village with a bang, the World’s Biggest Elf Skate will be held on Thursday, 13th November, from 5pm, aiming to set a world record for the greatest number of ice-skating elves.
Free tickets will be available to guests who join in the festive fun as Clarks Village sets out to fill the ice rink with more than 150 elves on ice and create an unforgettable record attempt.
Taking part in the World’s Biggest Elf Skate is free for anyone who dresses up as an elf, with skate hire included. However, the event is ticketed with limited availability, so guests are required to book their place in advance via this booking link: clarks.icetickets.co.uk/sessions/2025-11-13
Guests will be able to enjoy ice skating at the launch event from 5pm until 6.45pm, but all will be asked on to the ice between 6pm and 6.30pm for the unofficial world record attempt. Everyone who attends will be given a special participation rosette, with on-the-spot certificates for the best festive fancy dress.
In partnership with Shoemakers Museum, the launch of the festive ice rink, which features 550 square-metres of real ice, will be led by the real Santa and his head elf, who will fly in from the North Pole to meet guests and spread festive cheer.
