Promising a fantastic festive family day out, the outdoor ice rink at Gloucester Quays is back for Christmas 2025.
Inviting shoppers to wrap up warm and get their skates on, they can glide around the scenic spot, soaking up the scenery around Gloucester's historic docks while it's all lit up for Christmas.
Whether you're practicing your triple axels or just trying to stay up straight, there's loads of fun to be had on the ice – and plenty to do back on land, too.
There's hot chocolates to warm up with; up to 70 per cent off Christmas shopping; and the nearby National Waterways Museum to explore for anyone making a day of it.
There's also Christmas markets taking place every weekend throughout the run-up to Christmas until Sunday 21 December 2025, perfect for picking up unique handmade gifts and tasty local treats.
