Greenwich Ice Rink at the Old Royal Naval College
Saturday 2nd December 2006 to Sunday 14th January 2007
The magnificent ice rink set within the colonnades of the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich returns for its third festive season – with superb views across the Thames and up to the Greenwich Observatory the ice rink will be operational for a six week season. The Old Royal Naval College is a great baroque masterpiece of English architecture, set in its owned landscaped grounds on the banks of the River Thames in the centre of the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. The Ice Rink has magnificent views looking up to Queen’s House and the Greenwich Observatory, and also across the Thames to the many lights and buildings of Canary Wharf.
Hampstead Heath Ice Rink at Parliament Hill Fields
Saturday 2nd December 2006 to Sunday 14th January 2007
Long walks in wonderful woodland and skating outdoors on a real-ice rink are two of the joys of winter - and over this Christmas and New Year period the opportunity to do both are brought together as the Hampstead Heath Ice Rink at Parliament Hill Fields returns for its second six week season. So wrap up warm with your hat, gloves and scarf over the Festive period – with family, friends and work colleagues - and enjoy a session of Christmas ice skating.
Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink Supported by Andrex
Saturday 2nd December 2006 to Sunday 14th January 2007
Now a mainstay of Christmas the ice rink returns for its fourth festive season of six weeks in the grounds of historic Hampton Court Palace. Set in the truly splendid and traditional setting within the grounds of Hampton Court Palace the ice rink will again be located on the west front of Henry VIII’s historic red brick palace. Inside the Palace there will be traditional offerings of costumed events celebrating the 1604 court of King James I.
Kew Gardens Ice Rink
Saturday 25th November 2006 to Sunday 7th January 2007
The association of PWR Events Ltd with Kew Gardens returns this year bringing festive glidings to the magnificent Royal Botanic Gardens with the new real-ice rink situated directly in front of the majestic Temperate House in the grounds of Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens are always festive during the Christmas and New Year, and this year will be no exception as its Christmas Festival sees Kew’s landscape transformed with Christmas lights and decorations, bell ringing at weekends and Kew’s huge Christmas Tree - a 30 metre high heritage Cedar.
Royal Windsor Ice Rink at Alexandra Gardens
Saturday 2nd December 2006 to Sunday 7th January 2007
Following last year’s hugely successful inaugural season this magnificent rink which is situated in Alexandra Park near the banks of the River Thames at Royal Windsor returns for a five week season in December. From the gardens there are views up to Windsor Castle, the largest inhabited castle in the world and the favourite weekend home of the Queen.
Tower of London Ice Rink Supported by Andrex
Saturday 25th November 2006 to Sunday 14th January 2007
For the past 900 years the Tower of London – Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress on the Thames - has been the setting for some of the most significant events in British history. Now, nearly 940 years after William the Conqueror founded the building, the Tower of London will, for the second year, be host to a magnificent real-ice rink situated in the dry moat beneath the Outer Wall of the Tower of London.
Booking for the 6 ice rinks (hourly sessions accommodating up to 250 people) is open by phone and internet. Already bookings are heavy and sessions at weekends and immediately around Christmas and New Year are selling out so advance booking is strongly recommended.
