About
Skate Through History
Set against the backdrop of Henry VIII’s historic home, Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink is the perfect way to glide into the season. Lace up your skates, bring your loved ones, and get ready for an enchanting experience on the ice.
The rink will be open to the public from 22 November 2024, until 5 January 2025, except on Christmas Day.
The rink opens at 9.30am (first session starts at 10am) and closes at 9pm (last session starts at 8pm).
Skating sessions last up to 45 minutes. The ticket price includes skate hire and excludes the online booking fee. We recommend that you arrive 30 to 40 minutes before your session to get ready to take to the ice.
Please note that Hampton Court Palace itself is only open Wednesday to Sunday, outside of the school holidays. If you wish to visit the Palace on the same day as your skate, please check their opening times here.
