Get your
skates on.

A stunning covered outdoor real ice rink, steeped in York's history.
Skate aids for the little ones, mulled wine for the adults.
Rosy cheeks, woodsmoke and wafts of cinnamon.
That first-lap grin nobody can fake.

NEW Outdoor Covered Real Ice Rink in York's City Centre

Introducing THOR'S on ICE

A NEW covered outdoor real ice rink in the heart of York's historic Museum Gardens.
Skate under the stars, come rain or shine, protected by our clear covering,
then thaw out post-skate with a hot drink in our Alpine Terrace.

Worked up an appetite?
Roll off the ice and into a delicious
Salt & Pepper Spice Bag and warming Crumble Pot
It's time to bring festive magic back to York's city centre!

A little Lucia magic in Museum Gardens

Eat, Drink,
Skate & Be Merry.

We've got your post-skate party sorted.
Lucia's Après Bar is waiting to welcome you
with an Italian cocktail & snug seating.

Twinkling fairy lights.
Snowfall every hour, on the hour.
Mulled Rosé steaming in the cold.

Book a seat, hire the rink for the night,
or just roll off the ice and into a cosy corner.
