What it’s like

Skate a festive covered outdoor rink in Derby Market Place - seasonal sessions from late November to New Year.

Skate a festive covered outdoor rink set up in Derby Market Place for the Christmas season. Sessions run about 45-60 minutes and include skate hire, with toddler slots and general skate times on the Derby LIVE timetable.

Under-16 tickets start from £9 off-peak (up to £11); Standard from £11-£13; under-5s free. Under-12s need an adult on the ice (1 adult to 5 children). Book sessions via Derby LIVE.

Seasonal only - Sat 28 Nov 2026 to Thu 31 Dec 2026 - not a year-round rink. Expect city-centre parking and cold outdoor air under cover. Do not confuse with the National Ice Centre in Nottingham. Soft Play is not part of this listing.
