Yorkshire's Winter Wonderland
Yorkshire's Winter Wonderland is now open! Gather your friends and family and plan a festive day out with us.

Tickets are now on sale and booking is recommended for skating.

A magical day out awaits...
Glide gracefully on the North of England’s largest outdoor ice rink and marvel at the 30ft high sparkling Christmas tree taking centre stage on the ice.  As dusk arrives, be enchanted by the illuminated trees, log cabins and reindeers as you skate under the stars!

Overlooking the ice rink, The Chalet makes the perfect spot to warm up after a skate on the ice. The cosy apres-skate cafe offers a selection of festive favourites including mulled wine and mince pies plus hot chocolate, hot dogs, toasties and an array of tempting sweet treats.
