The Big Christmas Skate at Braehead Ice Centre
Step into the season at Braehead Ice Centre, where more than 100 festive-themed skating sessions are taking place throughout December. With Christmas music, twinkling lights and a magical atmosphere across the rink, it’s the perfect way to celebrate with family and friends.
Enjoy a wide variety of themed sessions running almost daily, including Frozen, Merry Wee Ones, Movie Magic, Christmas Pyjamas, The Grinch and many more. We’ll also host a special Christmas Jumper Skate, with a donation from every ticket supporting Save the Children.
As the home of the Glasgow Clan, the city’s professional ice hockey team, our rink offers top-quality ice and first-class facilities. The ice is regularly machined for a smooth, dry surface that makes skating easier and more enjoyable for all abilities.
Join us this December and experience festive skating at its best.
