As the festive season approaches, Tunbridge Wells is set to sparkle a little brighter with the return of the hugely popular SKATE event at Calverley Grounds. From 29 November 2024 to 5 January 2025, this picturesque park will be transformed into a winter wonderland complete with a glistening outdoor ice rink. Whether you're an experienced skater or just starting out, SKATE Tunbridge Wells offers a perfect blend of fun, frolic, and festive spirit.

Located just a five-minute stroll from the train station and town centre, the ice rink at Calverley Grounds provides a stunning backdrop for your skating adventures. The beautifully lit park and its surrounding views create a mesmerising atmosphere that is both uplifting and joyful. Open every day (except Christmas Day), it's an ideal spot for a family outing, a romantic date, or a fun excursion with friends.

SKATE Tunbridge Wells caters to all ages and abilities. For those who prefer a quieter environment, the rink offers Relaxed Skating Sessions on Fridays at 1pm. These sessions are specially designed without music or flashing lights and feature slower skating speeds, ensuring a serene and inclusive atmosphere.

The rink operates under varied session times throughout the season to accommodate everyone’s schedule. From standard sessions running from 1pm to 8pm on weekdays and extending from 10am to 8pm on weekends, to special holiday sessions with extended morning and evening skating times, there's a time slot for everyone.

Booking your tickets in advance not only secures your spot but also saves you money, with discounts of £2 per ticket when booked ahead of the day. Ticket prices vary depending on the date and time, with special rates for groups and schools during Green Sessions.

Beyond the ice, SKATE Tunbridge Wells is a hub of activity with festive stalls offering seasonal treats and gifts. Don’t forget to explore the offerings of local craftspeople and culinary delights that add an extra layer of charm to your visit.

Located at Calverley Grounds, the venue is easily accessible, promising a hassle-free visit. For those with specific access needs, including wheelchair users, the event organisers at Assembly Hall Theatre are ready to assist to ensure everyone can enjoy their time on the ice.

SKATE Tunbridge Wells is more than just an event; it's a community gathering that brings together the best of festive cheer and communal joy. So, lace up your skates, bundle up in your winter best, and prepare for a delightful skating experience under the twinkling lights of Calverley Grounds. With something for everyone, SKATE Tunbridge Wells is your go-to destination for festive fun this winter season!
