A festive outdoor ice rink and Christmas market is set to return for its 12th year.

Skate Tunbridge Wells will open once again from Friday, November 18 until Monday, January 2 in the town’s Calverley Grounds.

The temporary ice skating experience will be open seven days a week, except for Christmas Day, and features two rinks and an outdoor market with a range of festive stalls.

Skate will include a large main rink, as well as a smaller rink that is suitable for parents and toddlers during the day.

In the evenings, the smaller rink will transform into a Bavarian curling space where groups of up to six people can participate in the game.

Early booking is advised, particularly for the Bavarian curling rink. Adult tickets for Skate start from £13, but prices vary depending on date and session. Book online here.

The park will also be filled with market huts from Friday, November 18, offering hot food, festive drinks and Christmas gifts, all a five minute walk from the train station and town centre.
