Festive skating rink
- 23rd Nov - 24th Dec 2024
- Suitable for 4+
Experience the magic of winter at The Chester House Estate’s first-ever Festive Skating Rink, running from 23rd November to 24th December!
Set within the beautiful grounds of this historic estate, the skating rink offers a perfect blend of seasonal joy and family fun. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or trying it for the first time, this promises to be the highlight of your holiday season.
We have opted for an eco-friendly skating rink, made of synthetic ice.
A synthetic ice rink is a specially designed surface that mimics the properties of real ice, allowing for ice skating and other ice-related activities without the need for refrigeration. It’s made from a high-quality synthetic material that provides a smooth, gliding surface.
This option is the most environmentally friendly option, and also has the added benefit of parents being able to support young skaters on the ice without needing ice skates!
Please note, our skating rink is outside.
What to Expect:
Step onto the rink beneath sparkling lights and festive decorations, with joyful holiday music setting the scene for a wonderful winter experience. Skaters over the age of 4 and all abilities are welcome, making it a perfect day out for families, couples, or groups of friends.
After your skating session, warm up with delicious seasonal treats and hot drinks from our huts, have lunch in The Farmhouse cafe or take a stroll around the Estate to soak in the festive atmosphere.
