Worthing Ice Rink

Welcome

We once again look forward to welcoming you to our great under-cover ice-rink to celebrate the Christmas period and ring in the new year.  Our doors will be open from Saturday 9th November 2024 – 23rd February 2025.

 We welcome skaters of all ages and abilities over the age of 4 years. Our penguin skate aids are available for hire to assist our skaters if required (height limit applies).

Our café  will be open daily offering hot drinks and snacks to skaters and non-skaters alike. Our cafe will this year be serving hot crepes, hot dogs and chips as well as other delightful goodies. 

Sessions will run from 13.45Hrs until 21.00Hrs Monday to Friday during term time and from 10.00Hrs to 21.00Hrs during weekends and school holidays. 

Following the success of our supersaver tickets in the last couple of years for selected sessions (13.45 – 17.30, inclusive) on Monday and Tuesdays, we have decided to bring it back again this year. All tickets will be priced at £6.00 (not valid during school holidays).

Our rink is wheelchair accessible and we welcome wheelchair users on any sessions. Carer’s skate for free and there is no need to book a carer’s ticket. Carer’s may be asked for ID.
