The hugely popular Willen On Ice will return to Milton Keynes’ Willen Lake this festive season, and for 2024, it’s double the size and quadruple the fun!

Opening on Thursday 7th November, tickets have been released today – 24th July - giving people the chance to book early and guarantee tickets to one of the region’s best real ice-skating experience.

Adorned with thousands of twinkling lights, snow-covered spruces and an 800sqm real ice-skating rink, there’s no place more magical to bring the family. That’s not all…

Within the Willen On Ice setting, visitors can enjoy the bright lights and sounds of the fairground, try tasty traditional festive street foods, and catch up with friends at the Après Ski Bar serving a selection of winter warmers.
