Ice skating
This winter, Cornwall's most loved ice rink is having a glow-up! Glide onto our glittering, undercover rink, bathed in a mesmerising aura of Northern Lights colour. From date nights to family fun, turn every twirl, glide (and wobble) into unforgettable memories until 21 February 2027.
Update on Friday 16 October, 3.30pm: We're sorry to let you know that due to the unseasonably warm weather which has impacted the ice, we are unable to open the ice rink on 17 October as planned. You can book a skate session from Sunday 18 October onwards. If you have pre-booked ice skating for Saturday 17 October, we will be emailing you soon, but please contact us with your booking reference to reschedule your session or request a refund.
