Torquay Ice Rink
Skaters take to real ice beneath a sparkling illuminated canopy in a covered, weather-sheltered rink that accommodates up to 120 people per session. Skaters of all experience levels can glide across the rink, while non-skaters can watch from a dedicated viewing area alongside the ice. Nearby festive food and drink stalls offer hot chocolate and seasonal snacks for visitors after their session.
