Icescape Westpoint all set to return this winter

AFTER a successful first year at Westpoint Arena, the sizable real ice rink returns to the venue this winter.

The main Westpoint Arena building will once again host the festive attraction from Thursday 11th December 2025 to Sunday 4th January 2026.

There’s space for up to 400 skaters in each 45-minute skate session on the ice, with various session types throughout the day. There’s lots of different skate sessions available for all to enjoy this Christmas. These include Parent Toddler sessions where Under 5s skate for free with an adult ticket, pushchairs are allowed on the ice (for this session only) and the friendly mascot Pippen the Penguin might even make an appearance. Quiet sessions are perfect for those skaters who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, with reduced capacity on the ice and no music or flashing lights. The Popular Disco Sessions are back on selected Friday evenings for adult ticket holders only and there is also a chance to grab a deal with 2-4-1 ticket offers on selected Thursdays.

Icescape operate the ice rink and are one of the largest providers of temporary real ice rinks in the UK. Jamie Dann, Icescape Operations Director, said: “It is great to be bringing the ice rink back to Westpoint Arena. It was so nice last year to see the people of Devon embrace our event and so many skaters enjoying the ice. The whole team can’t wait to get going again and welcome everyone back on the ice for the festive season.”

Westpoint Arena is the largest indoor arena in the South West and with the return of the real ice rink will once again be the ultimate festive destination for friends and families this winter.

Icescape Westpoint is set within easy reach of Exeter and M5 motorway network and there is ample free parking available.

Tickets will be on sale from the beginning of October and if you book online at least the day before you skate, you will benefit from an online saver price. Even better, plan further ahead and take advantage of the Early Bird 20% offer – details can be found on the website.
