Skate by the lake
Get your skates on for our first-ever ice rink on the shores of Ullswater. A 16ft Christmas tree, shimmering lights, snow-capped fells – and a 200-square-metre ice rink overlooking the lake – will transform the Another Place grounds this winter.
Open from 17 November 2025 to 5 January 2026
Winter skating
Skate. Gather. Feast. Shop. Stay. Open every day for hotel guests, locals and visitors, the ice rink is the centrepiece of our festive celebrations.
Friday to Sunday: 10am-8pm
Monday & Thursday: 10-7pm
Tuesday & Wednesday: 12-6pm
Little feet feeling unsteady? Pick up a penguin or polar bear skate aid for children.
Please note our skating sessions are now fully booked to non-resident guests.
Book to stay and skate
Take some time to get into the Christmas spirit and stay at Another Place, with a skating session for each guest, free reign of our Swim Club and Kids’ Zone supervised sessions included. Beyond the rink, there’s the warmth of the Fellside Sauna and outdoor hot tub and for the brave, there’s guided open water and night swimming in the lake with our resident swimming expert Colin Hill. Stay and skate, from £270 a night.
Skate and pizza
After working up an appetite on the ice, de-boot and head to The Glasshouse to pick up your woodfired pizzas, spice-infused mulled wine, cider and hot chocolate. Or raise a toast with our twelve drinks of Christmas in The Living Space. Currently we don't have a gluten-free pizza option.
Skate and Glasshouse pizza £25pp
Skate, swim & dine
Summon the Christmas spirit and stoke your appetite with a few laps of the ice rink and lengths of our pool, followed by dinner in Rampsbeck.
Spend time in the pool, before working up an appetite on the rink. Then settle in for three courses of seasonal dishes showcasing Cumbrian produce in Rampsbeck.
Sunday to Thursday £75pp
Hire our rink
Take the full 200-square-metre ice rink and celebrate with friends, family or colleagues this festive season, with pizza and drinks in The Glasshouse afterwards.
