Europe’s only rooftop ice rink is returning to Skylight next month

Skating with a view: Skylight boards the only rooftop rink in Europe
Lizzie Thomson9 October 2018

Rooftop bars may be a staple of the summer months but one venue in east London is proving they work all year round.

Popular sky high spot Skylight opens for its winter season on November 1, complete with Europe's only rooftop ice rink.

The venue is set to transform into a winter wonderland with cosy igloos and wooden huts on its top level.

The ice rink will be available on a first come, first served basis, while huts and igloos can be booked in advance.

Skaters can wind down with the seasonal drinks available, including mulled wine and warming cocktails served alongside a range of beers and ciders.

There'll also be classic festive snacks – think roasted chestnuts – alongside gooey Alpine street food treats courtesy of the Raclette Brothers.

Skylight’s winter programme also includes selection of DJ gigs and and parties, including a New Year's extravaganza.

The festive season will run until January 27.
