Liverpool Christmas Wonderland
Skaters take to a covered ice rink set along the waterfront between the Royal Liver Building and the River Mersey. Spectators can watch the skating from an adjoining viewing platform, while young children can use double-bladed bob skates or hire skate aids. Surrounding the rink are on-site food and drink stalls, a bar, and fairground rides and games.

- Have your ticket QR code ready to scan, and check your email for the ticket sent on your booking day.
- Use Liverpool ONE or Q-Park Albert Dock for parking, and pre-book to pay less than when turning up.
