Experience a festive ice skating experience on the largest open-air ice rink in the country. Hyde Park’s enchanting Victorian bandstand is the setting for this fan favorite attraction, where you can trade in your shoes for skates.
A Victorian bandstand and twinkling lights frame the ice skating rink, which is open daily from 10am to 10pm.
First dates, play dates, and best friends will enjoy this ice skating rink winter wonderland that’s open to all ages.
It is with great pleasure that we announce Lidl as our Ice Rink sponsor for the second straight year. No matter what the weather (except maybe snow! ), their award-winning Deluxe pigs in blankets will be available every day for just £3! Lidl’s charity partner Neighbourly will receive all proceeds.
Take a ride on the Lidl Lift! Before you arrive, download the Lidl Plus app, which gives you a great view of the site and ice rink from their heated undercover viewing platform!
