Elfingrove is back in Glasgow and set to install the UK’s biggest ice rink this Christmas.
The festive spectacular returns to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum on November 24 with a month-long run of skating under the stars. Elfingrove chiefs promise a 'bespoke, fully covered rink' that will be 'bigger, snowier and glowier'.
With a bigger rink, the UK’s first ever Snow Wheel, Skate Side Dining, the Apres Skate Bar, Candyland and dedicated toddler rink and the chance to skate with Santa, there's plenty on offer.

Oli Norman, creator of Elfingrove and itison CEO, said: “Last year over 100,000 people came along to Elfingrove – this year we’re going even bigger creating a larger rink and amazing new ways to enjoy Elfingrove with our Snow Wheel and Skate Side Dining. And with the cost of living being a very real thing, we wanted to make sure it’s as accessible for as many people as possible with tickets starting as low as £8 to skate.”
Here is everything you need to know about Elfingrove 2022:

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

What about the skate sessions?
