Ice Skating at the Royal Pavilion

Of course, you can’t have a Brighton Christmas without slipping and sliding about on the ice. Nope, we don’t mean when it snows on the Lanes and you end up face-first in a freezing puddle - we’re talking outdoor ice skating at the beautifully illuminated Royal Pavilion. 

As close to a wintry wonderland as you’re going to get, the rink is open into the evening, with indoor seating where you can treat yourself to a mulled wine, some nibbles, or even a full meal from their swanky Alpine Menu. Just don’t have too many glasses of the mulled wine before you go on the ice - going face-first onto the rink will be even colder than that puddle.

of course, it's kid-friendly - it even has those adorable little penguins to keep the children stable, but I'm sure if you ask nicely, they'll let you use one too. 

You'll be hard-pressed to find a more impressive and festive ice rink anywhere south of London. In fact, it's the only ice rink in the UK solely powered by renewable energy!
