Outdoor Ice Skating in North Kent, near London
Get ready to lace up your skates and hit the ice, because the much-loved ice rink is coming back to Ruxley Manor for Christmas 2024! Families and friends can once again glide across the real ice and make new memories together on our all weather, fully covered ice rink!
There’s nothing quite as festive as gliding across the real frozen ice at Christmas time, listening to Christmas songs under twinkling lights, finished with a delicious traditional bratwurst and deluxe hot chocolate from the skate cafe. If skating isn’t quite your bag, simply grab a mulled wine and enjoy watching from the viewing platform!
Please note: We advise that tickets are booked online in advance of your visit. However as tickets can be be booked via any mobile device, you can book tickets at the venue on your phone if they are still available.
