Ice skating
Lace up your skates! Cornwall's only ice rink will be reopening on 19 October 2024.
Ice skating lessons
Learn how to ice skate by taking our six-week courses, which happen on selected Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings throughout winter.
We are currently only taking bookings for courses starting in November, but future courses will be available soon.
Ice skating lessons at the Eden Project
Learn how to ice skate with our courses that run between November and February.
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 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.
For more information, please contact us or speak to a member of the Ice Rink Team when you are visiting Eden.
