Now in its 8th year of operation, the Natural History Museum Ice Rink is one of Britain's best recognised and most popular winter events, beginning in early November and running for 9 weeks until early January. Last year, nearly 120,000 skaters enjoyed the spectacular setting in front of the Natural History Museum's Waterhouse Building in Central London.

The Ice Rink Cafe Bar, housed on the first floor of a temporary structure overlooking the site, provides hot, cold, and alcoholic food and refreshments to visitors as well as hosting children's birthday parties, office parties and exclusive corporate events.
