White Rose Shopping Centre’s much-loved, magical Christmas ice rink is set to return soon due to popular demand.
The family-friendly attraction will be open in The Village and is hosted in partnership with JD, which will be opening its bigger and better store at White Rose this November.
Made of real ice and brought to life using special rapid-freeze technology, the fully-covered ice rink is suitable for all weather to ensure nothing gets in the way of festive fun.
The rink is suitable for skaters of all ages and is accessible to all. Ice skates are available to hire, as well as penguin and seal skating aids for the little ones - or those wanting an extra hand with their balance.
Exciting, special events planned for the festive season include disco skate evenings, parent and toddler sessions, and ‘quiet skate’ times with less music and no strobe lights for a calmer experience.
This Christmas also sees the return of White Rose’s wonderous White Rose Express grotto, where visitors can meet Santa in his vintage train carriage en-route to the North Pole.

White Rose's magical ice rink is open from Thursday, November 21, 2024, until Sunday, January 5, 2025.
The grotto opens earlier, on Saturday, November 9, 2024, with little ones able to share their Christmas wishes right up until Tuesday, December 24, 2024.
