World’s Biggest Santa Skate to launch Clarks Village Festive Ice Rink

Clarks Village is aiming to set a record for the greatest number of Santas on ice as it launches its festive ice rink.  

Guests are invited to be part of the World’s Biggest Santa Skate at the Somerset shopping outlet with free tickets on offer – to everyone dressed as Santa. 

The head elves at Clarks Village are hosting what promises to be a spectacular launch to celebrate the ice rink’s comeback for the 2024 Christmas season and are aiming to get more than 150 skating Santas on ice simultaneously. The free event will be held as the very first session at the ice rink on Thursday 14th November between 5pm-7pm.  

Guests will be able to enjoy ice skating across the two-hour session but all will be asked on to the ice between 6pm-6.30pm for the world record attempt joined by the real Santa Claus himself who is making a special visit from the North Pole. 

Taking part in the World’s Biggest Santa Skate is free for anyone who dresses up as Santa including skate hire but the event is ticketed. Free tickets can be claimed now on the Clarks Village website: https://clarksvillage.co.uk/worlds-biggest-santa-skate 

Everyone who attends will be given a special participation rosette with on-the-spot certificates for outstanding fancy dress efforts.  

Featuring real ice the enchanting 550-square-metre undercover ice rink will be open daily excluding Christmas Day from Thursday 14th November until Sunday 5th January.  

Located in the stunning grounds of the historic Alfred Gillett Trust adjacent to the outlet the ice rink is wheelchair friendly and will have a dedicated entrance within Clarks Village’s restaurant terrace.  

Standard ice-skating sessions are 45-minutes and are pre-bookable with skate hire included with special sessions including disco skating quiet sessions parent and toddler sessions exclusive hire for private parties and two-for-one skating on Wednesdays.  

Chris Davis Centre Director of Clarks Village commented: “The festive ice rink at Clarks Village has proved to be enormously popular and for its third year we wanted a grand celebration to welcome its return.   

“The World’s Biggest Santa Skate will be a sight to behold and such a fun experience. We’re delighted to offer guests free tickets to join us at this exciting launch event by dressing up as Santa and being part of a memorable evening which might even make the history books.”
