Confirmed dates
From 22nd November to 22nd December 2024
Visit Leeds Christmas Market, one of the Best Christmas Markets in the United Kingdom. The hugely-popular Ice Cube@Christmas outdoor skating rink will be back on Millennium Square next month, headlining a host for Christmas family fun in Leeds.
Taking over Millennium Square for the second year from November 24, with a host of attractions and stalls also on nearby Victoria Gardens and Cookridge Street, Leeds’s coolest attraction will be open every day (except Christmas Day and Boxing Day) up until New Year’s Eve.
Taking centre stage on Millennium Square, the 400 sqm real ice rink will feature a transparent marquee-styled roof to ensure sessions can take place whatever the weather.
The hugely popular Penguin Club will be available every Saturday and Sunday at 10am, giving young children the chance to take their first steps on to the ice in a fun and safe environment with the assistance of the penguin skating aids.
Alongside the ice rink, there will also be a selection of local and international street food and drink available from Alpine inspired chalet style huts and Christmas themed stalls including the beautifully crafted Christmas Tree Bar positioned between the owls of Leeds Civic Hall.
Festive food options will include authentic German bratwurst sausages, Yorkshire pudding wraps, Canadian style poutine, Italian meatballs, churros, waffles and much more.
New for this year is an exciting alpine inspired Ski Bar, complete with gondolas, chairlifts, skis and a four metre-high illuminated Ski Bear.
The event will also feature a family funfair extending to Victoria Gardens and Cookridge Street, where thrill-seekers can climb aboard the 30m high Star Flyer or check out the North Pole Funhouse alongside a selection of Children’s’ festive themed rides and games.
