Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Nov, 13:02 · Archive
Thor's on Ice has opened in York city centre, the first ice rink there since 2010.
Thor's on Ice opened its doors on Thursday in York city centre, built on a paved patio at the back of the Art Gallery in Museum Gardens. It is the first ice rink in the city centre since 2010, promising visitors a 'full winter wonderland experience'.
The event runs until 3 January and offers 45-minute skating sessions for adults and children. Prices range from £10 to £12 for students, service personnel and senior citizens, £11 to £13 for children, and £12 to £14 for adults.
The site features two rink-side stalls: one serving drinks from Lucia including mulled wine, cocktails, champagne, coffee and soft drinks, and another offering Chinese 'spice bags' with chicken, halloumi or vegan chicken options, plus fruit crumbles. Above the rink is Lucia's Après Bar on the art gallery balcony, offering the same drinks in a more luxurious setting with heaters, blankets and table-side service. A photobooth costs £6 per use, and there is a marshmallow toasting station.
