Tips & Advice

  • If you are booking a school or group skating visit, request a rink reservation by emailing patinoiresdenoel@gmail.com.
  • Budget for the rink separately: admission is €6 per child and €8 per adult, while the broader event is free.
  • Visit Place Maurice Servais earlier in the evening, since its market closes sooner than the stalls on the other squares.
  • Allow time to walk between the four squares, as the market, Santa's house, rides, and rink are spread across Namur.
  • Dress warmly for an outdoor visit, especially if you plan to linger at the rink or browse the chalets after dark.
