Essential skating information
Come and skate on our 1050-square-metre Ice Rink in the magical setting of the Museum's east lawn. For younger skaters there is a junior rink, linked to the main rink via an ice bridge.
Our friendly ice marshals will be available to give you help or guidance on the ice.
Not skating? Enjoy the atmosphere from the viewing platform, where you can watch friends and family skate or enjoy a hot chocolate or a glass of mulled wine in the Café Bar.
