Royal Pavilion Ice Rink

The South East’s most beautiful winter ice rink will open for its fifth year on 8 November to 18 January on the Royal Pavilion’s Eastern lawns in Brighton.

With the former Royal pleasure palace as backdrop, the 800 square metre rink has space for 250 skaters per session, with a beginners’ area with penguin skate aids and skate sizes from ‘just walking’ to adult, offering seasonal fun and a unique and special festive experience.

And whether you’re a skater or not, everyone is welcome to enjoy delicious food and drink by day and night at the stunning rinkside Bar & Kitchen, which offers heart-warming snacks, delicious lunches and dinners, a great bar selection, with mulled wine and hot chocolate with marshmallows always available.

For adults the rink is a romantic destination for couples to enjoy skating followed by dinner and a bottle of wine, whilst groups of friends can enjoy their winter get togethers in the lively rinkside Bar & Kitchen overlooking the ice skating scene, with a range of good value meals and wines on offer as well as real ales and seasonal continental lagers.

For families, visiting the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink for a day out is an experience not to be missed during the festive season, conjuring up the very essence of Christmas, whether it be for Sunday lunch with Father Christmas or an early evening skate and supper.
