Ice rink set for festive return

Easter may only just have happened, but Derby City Council and the Cathedral Quarter Business Improvement District have already confirmed that the city’s popular ice rink will return this Christmas – with tickets on sale now.

The undercover ice rink was a popular destination for all ages during the 2022 festive season, with 12,600 people donning their skates, around half of them children.

The Cathedral Quarter Ice Rink will be back on the Market Place from 2 December until New Year’s Eve.

Robbie Kerr, manager at Derby LIVE, said: “We are thrilled to announce that the Cathedral Quarter Ice Rink will be back in Derby this Christmas.

“It has proved to be a very popular addition to our Festive Derby programme in recent years and we’re excited to offer another exciting festive experience for 2023.”

Brad Worley, manager for the Cathedral Quarter BID, said: “This wonderful experience is rapidly becoming a firm favourite with visitors to the city centre, and the Cathedral Quarter BID is looking forward to welcoming them again this year to the Market Place.”
