Free Ice Skating in Blackpool
Fancy some festive fun on the ice? The outdoor skating rink is back at Blackpool's Christmas By The Sea village, running daily from 20 November 2026 until 3 January 2027 (closed Christmas Day). Best of all, it's completely FREE to get on the rink and FREE skate hire is included for all ages too.
The 20-metre synthetic rink sits right in the shadow of the iconic Blackpool Tower and can hold up to 60 skaters at a time. No booking is needed, just turn up, grab your free rental skates and take to the ice. It's open daily from 12pm to 9pm (last admission 8pm). Skate aids and disability aids are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult on the ice, and those aged 8 to 14 must have an adult at the rinkside. Once you're done, warm up in one of the cosy Christmas cabins nearby with a mulled wine or hot chocolate. Click our pink button below to find out more and plan your visit!
