Skate Bournemouth: Ice Skating by the Sea
Get ready to glide into the festive season as Skate Bournemouth returns to the town’s Lower Gardens. Each year, this much-loved ice rink brings a touch of magic to the coast, transforming the gardens into a winter wonderland filled with sparkle, laughter, and seasonal cheer.
A Bournemouth Tradition
Skate Bournemouth has become one of the highlights of the town’s winter calendar. Combining the charm of a seaside Christmas with the thrill of outdoor skating, it captures everything that makes the season special.
A Festive Favourite in the Heart of Bournemouth
Located just a short walk from the beach and the town centre, Skate Bournemouth offers visitors the chance to experience the joy of ice skating surrounded by twinkling lights, music, and a cosy festive atmosphere. Whether you’re a confident skater or taking your first steps on the ice, it’s an activity that everyone can enjoy.
The rink is open throughout the winter season, welcoming families, couples, groups of friends, and visitors of all ages. In addition to the main rink, there’s usually a separate area for younger skaters, making it a fun and safe experience for children too.
More Than Just Skating
After a session on the ice, visitors can warm up with a hot drink or a festive treat from one of the nearby food stalls or cafés. The surrounding Christmas market and gardens are filled with local crafts, lights, and entertainment, making it the perfect setting for a seasonal day out.
Whether you’re planning a festive date, a family trip, or simply want to embrace the holiday spirit, Skate Bournemouth is the perfect place to do it.
Moguls Alpine Bar
The bar boasts an alpine-style, festive interior and offers a full menu of mulled drinks, luxury hot chocolates and festive cocktails, ideal after a couple of laps on the ice. Click here for more details: Moguls Alpine Bar
