Get your skates on – the Gateway Ice Rink is back for another magical winter season at Cotswold Lakes! Perfect for families, friends and festive get-togethers, our open-air rink offers the ultimate Christmas experience in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Glide under twinkling lights, sip on a hot chocolate, and make unforgettable memories surrounded by the stunning lakeside scenery. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or a complete beginner, everyone is welcome – we’ve got skate aids for little ones, wheelchair access, and plenty of smiles waiting rink-side.

When you’re done on the ice, warm up and refuel at The Gateway Café & Bar, just steps from the rink. Enjoy seasonal favourites, mulled wine, and festive treats, or make a day of it with delicious brunch and lunch options served all winter long. If you’re heading down in the evening, be sure to check out the Pizzeria 720 or the Brat Shack and warm up with an Mulled Wine at the Hideout Lakeside Bar.
