'Jersey on Ice' will return to the Weighbridge for its fourth consecutive year this winter, in situ in time for October half-term.

The rink will open on Saturday, 24 October, and run throughout the festive season, open daily during school holidays and from Wednesday to Sunday during term time.

The rink will close on Christmas Day but will be open for a short time on Boxing Day and New Year's Day.

It will then close on Sunday, 10 January 2027.

Jersey Development Company has removed the curling lanes to make more space for skating, but there will still be the opportunity to try curling on-island over winter, with separate facilities opening at Rocco's in October.

Lee Henry, CEO of JDC, said: “The Ice Rink remains a valued community attraction during the festive season. Once again, we'll be inviting primary schools to bring their pupils to enjoy free skating sessions during term time, giving even more children the chance to experience the joy of ice skating.

“To further enhance the visitor experience, there will also be a dedicated children’s party zone.”

Last year, more than 22,000 people visited the rink; amongst them, 1,238 primary school children through free school visits, and 61 care home residents experienced the ice from their wheelchairs.

Online bookings are now open.
