Natural History Museum welcomes return of Ice Rink
Ticketmaster to also present the free Acoustic Lates every week until 19 December 2019.
London’s Natural History Museum is once again hosting one of the capital’s most iconic and scenic ice rinks, booking until 12 January 2020.
Situated immediately adjacent to the top London attraction, the Natural History Museum Ice Rink allows skaters to take to the ice among the fairy-lit beauty of the West London surroundings, with access to the The Café Bar and balcony, serving a selection of drinks and food – including mulled wine.
Welcoming all abilities, the rink provides children’s bob skates free of charge and penguin skate aids at an additional cost. Visitors can also enjoy a ride on the gold fairground carousel, soaking in the festive atmosphere.
Access to The Café Bar and balcony do not require skating tickets, perfect for those looking to soak in the atmosphere or enjoy a view of friends and family taking to the ice.
Now in its third year, Ticketmaster presents Acoustic Lates also returns to The Café Bar, presenting completely free-of-charge events on live music. The showcases will take place every Thursday from 31 October 2019 until 19 December 2019 (excluding 5 December when the performance will take place the previous day), with visitors able to purchase skating tickets to accompany the performances with time on the ice.
The live shows will welcome the likes of vocalist Mabes, rock outfit Wild Front, and singer-songwriters TAMZENE and Rothwell, with special line-ups curated by Metropolis Music, Empire Agency and The LDN.
