The Ice-Rink


Choir boys heading towards photographer!

 

Ice Rink
25 November – 3 January


A temporary open-air real ice rink is built in the centre of the Cathedral’s historic Inner Close for our Christmas celebrations and is enjoyed by more than 40,000 people. Skating is fun for people of all ages and abilities so it’s a great way to spend time with friends and family. The Cathedral provides a stunning backdrop to the ice rink, which for much of the time is surrounded by our Christmas Market. The adjoining café offers a warm welcome, a wide selection of hot and cold food and drinks and a perfect view of the rink.
