EPSOM ON ICE #REVIEW…
Posted by Devenia Besant on 28 Nov 2024
No need to travel to Hampton Court, Battersea or Hyde Park – Epsom now has its very own Ice Skating rink for the festive period running until Sunday 5th January 2025 at Epsom Downs Racecourse. We attended the Epsom on Ice Launch and it was a wonderful evening, a perfect way to start feeling festive and not have to travel miles too. They really have done a good job with making it look magical with fairy lights. There are some great photo opportunities to capture for the memory bank (or Insta!!!!). In addition to the Ice Rink there are festive stalls, a bar (we enjoyed our warm mulled wine) and had the most humongous burgers from the burger bar that also sold hot dogs.
On to the skating, getting your Ice Skates is quick and easy the staff are smiley and helpful, there are also helpful stewards on the Ice Rink at all times. The session is 45 minutes a great amount of time to have lots of fun. If you get a chance definitely give it a go.
Take a look at our reel here to give you a feel of what to expect.
