Cool Coast Ice Rink will reopen at Bournemouth International Centre in December for another winter of festive skating and family fun.
The South Coast’s largest indoor rink welcomes skaters back from Saturday 13 December until Sunday 22 February, offering a full calendar of daily sessions and new themed nights.
New for 2026 are special party nights where music fans can skate to themed playlists featuring Taylor Swift hits, pop punk favourites and musical theatre tunes.
The rink will again host beginner, advanced, and relaxed skating sessions, with quieter sessions offering softer lighting and lower music for a calmer experience.
BH Live’s Director of Venues, Steve Turner, said the event is all about bringing people together. “Cool Coast Ice Rink transforms the BIC into a fun, inclusive space where the community can celebrate the festive season,” he said.
Private hire packages are available for schools, companies, and larger groups wanting exclusive use of the rink, and skaters can relax afterwards in the Alpine Bar with seasonal refreshments.
Cool Coast Ice Rink is operated by local charity BH Live. More information and booking details are at coolcoasticerink.co.uk.
