The annual 7Up Christmas on Ice event in Ballsbridge, County Dublin, will offer ice skating lessons for beginners and those hoping to improve their skills, both main and beginner covered outdoor ice rinks and Santa's Polar Palace.
Snacks and beverages will be available from the Ice Club and the Rinkside Cafe and Bar, including mulled wine, and heated rinkside viewing terraces and visitors can shop in the charming Christmas market area.
The multi-activity Polar Palace will offer families the chance to meet Santa and his helpers and receive a gift, the Conor Lambert Christmas Puppet Show and the SPAR KidZone interactive play area.
The seasonal attraction also has a special kids' sleigh area, skating aids for beginners, comedy nights featuring Joe Rooney and Ian Coppinger and skating disco nights.
