Time to get your skates on
Winter is just around the corner – and that means skating, mini golf, mulled wine and more at Bath on Ice.
The annual attraction in Royal Victoria Park returns in a month with its biggest ever ice rink.
Spanning 1,000 square metres, the rink will give more space than ever before for visitors and residents of Bath to skate and have fun this Christmas.
The 39 per cent increase in size on last year has been a Bath for Ice goal for a number of years and the team is delighted to announce it for 2018.
The extra skating space will be made all the more enjoyable with the news that new lace-up boots will also be available to hire for added comfort.
Glow in the dark mini golf will also be returning this Christmas, with the adjacent 18-hole course lit up in full splendour once again.
With glow in the dark balls, mist and atmospheric lighting, families and friends can challenge each other to a festive game in the beautifully lit park surroundings.
And finally, after a twirl on the ice and a round of festive putting, skaters will be able to retreat to the warm comforting glow of the Moguls Alpine Bar.
The bar will be back with hot mulled wine, wood fired pizzas, deluxe hot chocolates, log burners, warm rugs and a range of beers and wines.
Parties, families and groups of friends will once again be able to enjoy the après ski surroundings. Pop open a bottle of prosecco and celebrate the festive period.
With only a few weeks to go before the grand opening, the team has been busy preparing.
Director Simon Smith said: “We make improvements year on year and we’re really excited about Christmas 2018.
“It will be our biggest rink yet and we hope everyone enjoys all that extra ice.
“Every year we love seeing families and friends come together to have fun and this year will be no exception.
“With loads of space to skate, comfy new skate boots, new skate aids, glow in the dark mini golf and a wonderful selection of food and drink at the Moguls Alpine Bar, it will be an amazing experience.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone back for skating and hot chocolate.”
Bath on Ice opens on Friday, November 16.
