The Ice Rink is returning to Bluewater this year from 12th November – 5th January!
Located outside The Village near Zizzi's, our covered outdoor Ice Rink, in partnership with Sonic 3, will offer plenty of space for skaters of all abilities to go for a spin, come rain or shine. To make sure it's accessible for all, we'll also be running quiet sessions, in addition to parent and toddler sessions for wobbly starters. Penguin and seal skating aids will be available for little ones, plus bob skates to help guests stay steady. PLUS, Ice Rink party nights are back by popular demand, so get ready to bust some moves to our classic party anthems!
Drum-roll please… we are thrilled to announce the first-ever Elf on the Shelf® Christmas Adventure, taking place right here at Bluewater this winter!
This never-seen-before interactive, theatrical experience will transport you to the North Pole on an immersive adventure where you'll help the Scout Elves spread Christmas cheer by completing a series of magical games and challenges, including making a wish at the wish-gatherer, Christmas tree decorating and snowball throwing.
Bring the little ones along from 16th November - 24th December for an adventure the whole family can enjoy!
PS. Can you spot the Elf in the picture?
