You'll need to get your skates on if you want to go ice skating in Tunbridge Wells this Christmas.

Tickets have been selling like hot cakes for the sessions in Calverley Grounds, which run from Friday, November 16 to Tuesday, January 1, 2019.

Calverley Grounds will be transformed into a wintry wonderland for the ice rink, with the amphitheatre decorated with twinkling festive lights, plus festive food and drink, music and Christmas shopping inspiration.

Main skating sessions will take place from 11am to 8pm, except on Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Years Eve and New Year’s Day when it will be 6pm.

Skating costs £14.50 and £9.75 for children, including skate hire. Dedicated 30- minute parent and toddler sessions for two to four-year-olds will be held every morning at 9.45am, 10.15am and 2pm until the schools break up for Christmas, at £9.50 which includes toddler and adult tickets and a seal skating aid.

On top of the skating action, Father Christmas will be in situ in his cosy log cabin from Saturday, December 1 to Christmas Eve and on selected midweek and weekend dates.

There will also be storytelling workshops will be taking place and the ice rink will again join forces with The Forum for live music events every Thursday night. Local choirs will also perform between 4pm and 6pm every Sunday and there will be Tunbridge Wells In Winter themed talks from museum staff.

Councillor Jane March from Tunbridge Wells council, said: "Outdoor ice skating in beautiful Royal Tunbridge Wells is a wonderful, festive, fun thing to do. The rink always looks lovely and skating is a great activity for all ages."
