Ice skating lessons at the Eden Project
Learn how to ice skate with our courses that run throughout winter.
Each course consists of weekly 30-minute ice skating lessons for six weeks, and costs £66 for adults (17+) and £56 for children (6–16). Please note, skaters participating in lessons, as well as accompanying parents and guardians, must also have a valid form of admission to the Eden Project and there is a minimum age of 6 years.
Although lessons include boot hire, we highly recommend you bring your own ice skates.
Private lessons are also available, and are booked directly through our skating coaches dependent on their availability.
