Get Your Skates On

Date: 23/01/2026
Time: 10:00
Marlborough District Council are bringing back the popular artificial ice rink to the Blenheim CBD – a perfect way to celebrate the start of the new year.

Be prepared for a cool but not cold Ice Skating experience. The Ice Skate Tour travels around New Zealand with state-of-the-art, artificial ice rinks. They look like ice and have 97% same gliding capacity as natural ice. Surrounded by an inflatable boarding and helmets + gloves provided at no charge (helmets compulsory for all ages, gloves compulsory for kids under 16) it’s the safest possible way to try ice skating. You can also bring your own helmet and gloves. Each session is at least 30 minutes (longer if capacity allows). Please note: - socks are compulsory (we don't provide these) - our smallest skates are size 10.

- Last check-in is 30 minutes before closing time
- $2 gold coin entry

Location:Liz Davidson Place, Cnr Queen and Charles Street, Blenheim
