From there, the journey crosses the Lost Boys&#8217; camp, passes the enchanted mermaid&#8217;s pool and &#8216;boards&#8217; the Jolly Roger: frozen slides, the fearsome Captain Hook and even the chance to walk the plank. The event runs from November 19, 2026 to January 3, 2027.<\/p>\n<h2>The ice rink, beside the Victorian bandstand<\/h2>\n<p>Around Hyde Park&#8217;s iconic Victorian bandstand rises every winter the UK&#8217;s largest open-air ice rink, with 45-minute sessions and up to 400 skaters per session. Entry costs from \u00a31 on November off-peak days (Monday to Thursday) and \u00a35.50 standard; entry is free when you spend \u00a325 on attractions in advance. Ice Skating is available from \u00a312.65 per adult off-peak.<\/p>\n<h2>The ice that holds the magic<\/h2>\n<p>A real-ice rink of this size demands a refrigeration project engineered to the last detail: capacity, insulation and continuous maintenance to keep the ice smooth and stable through six weeks of intensive use. It is the same standard Napapiri has applied since 1993 to every real-ice rink it designs, manufactures, rents and sells \u2014 mobile and permanent \u2014 for event organizers, municipalities and sports and leisure facilities worldwide.
