Brighton’s Royal Pavilion ice rink has been welcoming visitors since 2010 and it is still the UK’s only Christmas ice rink powered exclusively by solar, wind and wave energy.
The rink will be open to skaters once again from October 25 to January 4.
“UK outdoor rinks are energy hungry so it’s really important that Christmas rinks like ours are powered by renewable energy,” said Shella Parkin of Laine Ltd, which puts on the rink every year.
The main rink has plenty of space for more confident skaters and the separate beginners’ rink provides a safe area for younger skaters to build confidence with penguin skate aids.
For those looking to sit back and soak up the festive atmosphere, there is no charge for spectating from the rink-side bar and kitchen over a warming hot chocolate or mulled wine and a full menu of treats.
Tickets cost from £15 for full price tickets (aged 12 and over), £12 for juniors (under 12) and the 45-minute skate times run from 10am to 9.45pm daily. The box office is open from 9.30am and visitors are strongly advised to book tickets in advance to be sure of their skating slot.
