Person skating on the ice rink at Somerset House

Chilled Out Sessions

If you’d prefer to take your first steps on the ice in a more relaxed setting, we’re offering reduced capacity Skate sessions on selected weekday mornings across the season.

These will have music at lower levels, an extra indoor space as a chill out area if you need to take a break from the rink during your session, and the environment on the ice will be quieter and more spacious. 

These may suit people trying out ice skating for the first time, or those  who would benefit from a more relaxed environment including neurodiverse visitors or those with sensory processing conditions. It’ll be great for families too, with complimentary skate stabilisers available to children, we have a limited number of these so they are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Skate aids are stabilisers available for children aged age 8 or under. There are a limited number of skate aids that will be available on a first-come-first-served basis and cannot be pre-booked. If availability allows and there are skaters aged over 8 who would benefit from the Skate aids, we may be able to accommodate. Please ask one of our ice marshal staff when starting your session if you would like a skate aid.
