Ice Skating

Birmingham's biggest Christmas attraction will return to Centenary Square this winter – beginning on the 1st of November and running throughout the Christmas period until 5th January 2025. Voted yearly as one of the UK's best ice-skating rinks, the anticipated event is a family friendly must-do this winter and caters for all ages!

Conveniently located in central Birmingham, the weatherproof ice rink boasts 600 square metres of ice with a 30m x 30m Ice Rink. Ice Skate Birmingham will be open daily from 10am-10pm, catering for families, schools, and group parties who wish to skate 'til late. Skaters can expect a 45-minute skate session under colourful lights, with plenty of catchy Christmas classics and a wholesome festive atmosphere. The ice rink is undercover, so visitors can enjoy the attraction regardless of the unpredictable winter weather.

The iconic big wheel landmarks the ice rink and surrounding Christmas markets, making it easy to find. Evening visitors can enjoy Instagram worthy views of the city, scattered with glittery lights from the Christmas markets at night.
