Festive ice skating is coming to Belvoir for the first time ever.
Belvoir’s Engine Yard is undergoing a transformation into a winter utopia this month. Preparations are underway to get Cinderella to the ball in time in the Castle. However there is so much on offer at the Leicestershire castle for Christmas. Festive Ice Skating at Belvoir’s Engine Yard will launch on 18 November.
The outdoor rink will be located in front of Vale House, surrounded by twinkling lights and Christmas trees to create a wonderful atmosphere. 30-minute sessions will be available to book on selected dates up until 1 January 2023. There’s even a chance to book a private skate for family and friends of the whole rink on Thursdays.
Festive ice skating is adding to the growing family offer across the Leicestershire estate.
It comes after their Adventure Playground opened last month. There will be the chance to warm up at the woodland playground’s food and drink chalet.
Santa’s Grotto is returning to The Engine Yard too! Little ones can meet singing reindeers, get on the ‘Belvoir Express’ train for family photo opportunities, meet with Father Christmas and his helpers. Then they’ll receive a present to open on the big day. Visits can be booked.
Pop-up chalets will offer gifts and artisan products, adding to the shopping experience. A Christmas Emporium will provide all manner of delights and a selection of real pine fir trees of all sizes available. Enjoy a candy cane trail for children and live music too!
The Engine Yard will be a great place to visit this Christmas for festive fun!
Whilst up in the beautiful Regency rooms of Belvoir Castle, Cinderella will be going to the ball this Christmas. The castle has been transformed into an immersive experience bringing the rages to riches fable to life. From the winding walk lit by twinkling lights up to the hilltop fairytale castle to the showstopping presentation featuring bespoke figurines dressed in handmade ballgowns, a life-size gold carriage and a white wedding, Cinderella at Belvoir will be spectacular (18 November – 1 January).
Ice skating is priced at Adult £7, Child £5, Family (2 Adults, 3 Children 0-16) £22 and can be booked online.
Cinderella in the Castle, Santa’s Grotto in the Engine Yard and Castle and Festive Afternoon Tea can all now be pre-booked. www.belvoircastle.com
