Liverpool Ice Festival is back and bigger than ever for the 2021 festive season

A flurry of frozen fun is coming to Liverpool’s Waterfront this November, with the return of Liverpool Ice Festival and its biggest sheltered ice rink to-date.

Between 19th November to 3rd January 2022 Liverpool Ice Festival, set within the magical Liverpool Waterfront, will transport the region into a frozen winter wonderland.

Located at Pier Head, the festival will include a spectacular covered ice rink, to ensure the elements don’t hamper any Christmas spirits, as well as a fully stocked Alpine Bar serving delicious hearty food and beverages all season round. Shelter from the cold, grab a cosy throw and enjoy your drink of choice.

Visitors wishing for more of a dare devil experience can try the Ice Slide, which includes three super-speedy 30m runs 6m above the park, enabling for an exhilarating view of the entire Ice Festival.

This year there are even more rides to keep the whole family entertained, with the UK’s only Ice Jet ride, displaying a fantastic light show throughout the Christmas period.

If that’s not enough, visitors can check-out traditional Christmas markets as well as the Bavarian Food Court, which serves delicious bratwursts everyday alongside steaming cups of hot chocolate with marshmallows, traditional mulled wine or cider, and much more.

Committed to an industry Gold Standard of care for visitors, this year’s venue will be nearly double the size of previous years with a reduced daily capacity, meaning more space for skating, more fun and even more memories to be made.

Rob Derry, ice director at Arena, which coordinates the event, says:

“We’ve gone all out to ensure Liverpool Ice Festival is a true celebration of winter 2021 to remember. After last year’s lockdown Christmas period, we’re bringing back the fun in more ways than ever.

From the UK’s only Ice Jet ride, featuring a collection of sound and light shows, to a whole host of traditional Christmas markets, there’s something for everyone at this year’s magical Liverpool Ice Festival.”
