Pre-booking is essential for all most of the festive activities so make sure that you look online before arriving otherwise you may be turned away.
Show Off Your Skating Skills at the Whitby Ice rink
Whether you can confidently glide around the rink or need a helping hand, ice skating is fun for all the family. Wrap up in your knits and take to the ice to make those wonderful festive memories for years to come. Open until the 2nd January (except for Christmas Day), there’s plenty of time to book a session.
