Skating in Tunbridge Wells
For the eleventh successive year, the hugely popular Skate is returning to Calverley Gardens in Tunbridge Wells. Opening seven days a week from Friday 19 November to Monday 3 January (closed Christmas Day), the outdoor ice rink and Xmas market is just five minutes’ walk from the train station and town centre and offers spectacular views of the beautifully lit park, creating a unique and special festive experience.
There are two ice rinks, the main rink that we all know and love and a smaller one that will be dedicated to parents and toddlers during the day and transformed into Tunbridge Wells’ very own Bavarian Curling rink by night. Early booking is advised as sessions sell out fast. Back too is ‘The Polar Bar’ with their highly sought after homemade mulled wine and local beers and, for the first time, local coffee shop ‘Fine Grind’ will be providing their amazing brand of hot beverages and food. Father Christmas will be making his annual appearance as will the eatery vans selling donuts, crepes and bratwurst. The Skate TW rink photographer will be there to capture all the action.
There will also be a programme of hugely exciting events this year including themed DJ nights, Sunday choirs and the return of The Forum music nights. You can also expect a very special Xmas pooch dress up competition (with prizes!), wreath making and more! All details and tickets can be found at www.skatetw.co.uk . Pre book and save £2 on sessions, members also receive a 10% discount here too!
Merry Xmas to all from the team at Skate Tunbridge Wells!
