Be our Guest: Musicals Night on Ice

Special ticketed event
For all ages
Sunday 23 November 2025, various times
Three girls on Life Science Centre's outdoor ice rink skating whilst wearing Disney mouse ears.

Get ready to let it go and step in time as Life’s outdoor ice rink sprinkles a little fairy dust for a night of skate-tapping tunes on 23 November. 

Expect favourites from Disney movies and classic shows of stage and screen including the Greatest Showman, Mamma Mia and the Lion King. 

Costumes encouraged, singing inevitable and memories guaranteed! 

Situated in Times Square, just outside Life Science Centre, the rink, made of real ice, runs throughout the Christmas season, providing skaters of all ages and abilities with the ultimate festive experience, surrounded by pretty twinkling lights.   

Skating sessions last approximately one hour (includes time to fit skates, so expect around 45 minutes on the ice).   

Limited availability so online booking is recommended.   Flexi-tickets are available in case you need to rearrange your booking. 

Sessions are on Sunday 23 November at 5pm, 6pm and 7pm

Useful info before your skate

  • Children aged 9 years and under must be accompanied by an adult on the ice. Children aged 10 – 12 years must be supervised by an adult, either on the ice rink or from the viewing platform.
  • Skating aids can be hired on the day of your visit for £5.00 (subject to availability). They are suitable for children under 1.2 metres in height.
  • Space on the viewing platform is limited and reserved for those supervising their children.
  • Skate hire is included in your ticket. If you have your own skates you’re welcome to use them, but we can’t give discounts.
  • Lockers are available from reception for a small charge to store valuables, but ultimately all items (including shoes) are left at your own risk.
  • Please wear suitable clothing – waterproofs, hats and gloves are recommended. Some people like to bring a change of clothing – particularly spare socks. Gloves and socks can be bought from the Life shop if you’re caught short.
  • If you use a wheelchair and you would like to use the rink, we recommend that you visit during quieter times (early sessions at weekends). You must be accompanied by an accompanying carer on foot and we will provide foot grips to accompanying carers, sorry but the carer cant skate whilst supporting you. Electric wheelchairs must be turned off whilst on the ice. We’d recommend calling the team on 0191 243 8210 ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment. Carers visit free of charge.
