Sorry, there are no future dates available
Skate Manchester returns to Cathedral Gardens from 25 October 2025 to 4 January 2026, transforming the city centre into a magical winter skating destination.
This year’s rink features a striking new centrepiece, a 15-metre wind turbine powered by Octopus Energy, partially powering the rink and replacing the traditional Christmas tree.
Set in a covered, weatherproof venue, the rink offers skating whatever the weather, alongside themed nights, live programming, contests and an immersive Snow Globe with an animated winter village.
As one of the UK’s most sustainable ice rinks, it combines festive fun with a strong focus on renewable energy and community spirit.
Visitors can upgrade to a VIP Experience with perks such as bag check, access to the Skate Off Pit Stop café, and complimentary drinks.
There are also discounted student nights, quiet skates, £5 community sessions, and special offers for Blue Light workers and parents & toddlers.
With sustainability, inclusivity and festive atmosphere at its heart, Skate Manchester promises to be one of the city’s standout winter experiences.
Tickets are available online, with early bird offers and bundles for those who sign up in advance.
