About
A timeless London tradition...The Palace Ice Rink.
Gather, skate, celebrate.
Experience a regal day out with us where elegance and history meet the electricity of ice skating. In the iconic landmark of Hampton Court Palace, inspired by classic Orangery structuring and royal decoration, we are redefining traditional Ice Rinks with the chance to glide and dance, surrounded by centuries of architectural beauty.
Immerse yourself skating in the magical scenes where King Henry VIII once walked, surrounded by beautiful greenery, captivating fairy lights, and a warm, festive experience.
This beloved seasonal tradition opens from 21st November 2025, until January 4th 2026. Alongside fewer skaters for a more intimate experience – we are enhancing the traditions of Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink and taking years of a traditional London winter staple into a whole new atmosphere. With a double layered ice design for smoother longer-lasting skate sessions, fresh and updated lace-up skates for comfort, every detail is crafted for the perfect winter skate.
Adult-only skate session:
Every second Friday of the season, Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink opens its doors for a special adult-only evening skate. Glide across the ice, then linger over mulled wine, hot toddies, or themed cocktails in the glow of the palace lights. A festive experience made for adults who want something a little extra this winter.
