Having welcomed over 100,000 people last year, Elfingrove is promising to be even bigger, snowier and glowier this Christmas with its lowest ever ticket price from £8 kids and £10 adults.
Kicking off on November 24th, new additions this year include the UK’s biggest ice-rink, a 15 meter Snow Wheel giving visitors a chance to enjoy Elfingrove from the air, plus a toddler rink and a range of skating sessions, Skate-Side-Dining, an Apres Skate Bar and Candyland for those with a sweet tooth.
Oli Norman, creator of Elfingrove and itison CEO, said: “It’s brilliant to be working with a world-class team to bring the UK’s largest ice-rink, as well as the first ever Snow Wheel to Scotland. Our mission is to bring a Christmas event like no other for people to enjoy , celebrate together and create lasting memories and traditions – we can’t wait to welcome people from across the country to enjoy what Elfingrove has in store this year.”
NEW THIS YEAR AT ELFINGROVE
Snow Wheel – a new way to enjoy Elfingrove from the air as snow falls around you and Christmas tunes fill the air
Toddler rink - a small dedicated toddler rink off the main ice rink where under 5s can slide and glide wearing bobskates, while safely accompanied by an adult
Skate Side Dining – a one of a kind restaurant overlooking the ice where you can book the best seat in the house for the ultimate Elfingrove experience
Candyland and the Silent Snow Disco – the sweetest spot in town for the ultimate sugar rush with all things candy, candy floss and candy canes plus home to the Silent Snow Disco
Apres Skate Bar – a chilled out bar where you can grab a bite to eat choosing from street food favs with a festive twist, including piping hot grilled cheeses oozing with brie, gourmet hot dogs loaded with pulled turkey, and festive fries with pigs and blankets – plus loads of great options for veggies and vegans.
SPECIAL SKATE SESSIONS
Skate School – 40 minutes skate lessons for small groups guided by expert instructors for anyone who is more Bambi on Ice than Dancing on Ice
Skate with Santa – Meet Santa and his elves on the ice at Elfingrove in very special skate sessions for big and little believers to meet the big guy
Relaxed sessions – quiet sessions for autistic people and anyone with special or complex needs to enjoy a quieter Elfingrove experience where sound and light will be adjusted to a more ambient level alongside a reduced capacity
itison’s E.L.F (Elf Legacy Fund) is back for 2022 and will be donating 2000 free tickets to local charities, community groups and causes to help those who might not be able to attend otherwise.
The event will create 150 jobs over the festive period and is estimated to drive £8M into the local economy supporting the area’s many bars, restaurants and hotels.
