Royal Pavilion Ice Rink

The south east’s most beautiful Christmas attraction, Brighton’s Royal Pavilion Ice Rink, returns for its 10th year, powered exclusively by wind and solar energy.

Set right in front of Brighton’s iconic royal pleasure palace, the huge 880 square metre rink and separate 130 square metre beginners’ rink are lit magically at night and for many of their visitors, herald the arrival of Christmas.

“We’re passionate about skaters being able to bring in the festive season with us without it costing the environment. That’s why this year we have gone the extra mile to ensure that we minimise our impact, using clean energy to power our rink, supporting Sussex Wildlife Trust to plant thousands of trees, and delivering the highest possible performance in terms of energy efficiency and minimising carbon emissions,” said Shella Parkin, MD of Laine Ltd, creator of the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink.

The Royal Pavilion Ice Rink is located within Brighton’s bustling North Laine district, perfect for Christmas shopping, and beautifully lit with hundreds of energy efficient LED lights for a truly magical Christmas skate. The main rink offers plenty of space for more confident skaters and the separate beginners’ rink with penguin skate aids provides a safe area for younger skaters to build their confidence.

For those looking to just sit back and soak up the festive atmosphere, there’s no charge for spectating from the cosy rink-side Bar & Kitchen or from its 40-metre terrace next to the ice. With plenty of space for larger gatherings, the 130 seater restaurant offers a great selection of bar snacks including irresistible ‘Dirty Fries’, tempting small plates to nibble over a drink, hearty burgers, pizzas, cassoulet and a huge range of vegetarian and vegan options. A great bar offering includes local ale and a range of craft beers together with mulled and ginger wine.

Conveniently situated just 50 minutes from Victoria by train, all of Brighton’s gorgeous independent shops are on its doorstep so visitors can get a little Christmas shopping in too.
