Christmas is officially coming as the ice rink is heading back to Somerset House for another winter of festive fun
As well as spinning around the rink during the day in front of the 40ft Christmas tree, whether you’re freestyling it or are taking a Skate School lesson, you’ll also be able to take to the ice once night falls with Skate Lates, hosted by array of DJs, artists and clubs, including Pxssy Palace, Raf Rundell, Cousins, RAW SILK, Haseeb Iqbal and Deptford Northern Soul Club.
Whispering Angel will be running the Skate Lounge this year, proving that rosé definitely isn’t just for summer, and Jimmy Garcia will be popping up with Chalet Suisse, serving up winter warmers and Alpine favourites, including fondue, confit duck buns, waffles with salted caramel sauce & kirsch-soaked cherries, and croissant bread & butter pudding, so you’ll have plenty of places to chill between skate sessions. And if you need to pick up a present, Shelter Boutique will be running a pop-up store from opening until 23rd December, stocked with pre-loved designer and vintage clothing on offer at bargain prices, with all proceeds from the shop going to Shelter. So if you think it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas, you can snap up ice rink tickets from 29th September.
