An ice rink will open at a Lake District hotel this winter.
The 200m rink will be installed at Another Place, The Lake next month, on the shores of Ullswater.
Open seven days a week for guests, visitors, school and community groups, the ice-skating rink will be the highlight of Another Place’s festive celebrations, it said.
A marquee will give shelter from showers – leaving the views across the lake and fells uninterrupted.
It will include family-friendly, accessible and adults-only sessions, plus steadying penguin and polar bear skate aids will be available to help children gain confidence on the ice.
Plus, festive market stalls will further bring the Another Place gardens to life. Over three weekends, starting from December 6, the markets will sell local produce, handmade crafts and decorations.
Judi Blakeburn, Another Place CCO, said: “The ice rink is a first for Another Place. To be able to skate with family and friends in the open air against the backdrop of Ullswater will be such a unique and memorable experience for our guests and visitors this winter.
“Combined with our 16ft Nordmann Christmas tree, lights and decorations, festive market stalls and outdoor Fellside Sauna, we’re excited to bring our elemental take on a winter festival to the lakeshore.”
The ice rink is open every day from December 1 to January 4, except Christmas Day.
