Frost Fair
Warwick Castle,
Warwick,
CV34 4QU
Magical Mediaeval Frost Fair - snow,
festive music and Christmas trees adorned with twinkling lights
will vividly bring the colours, sights and sounds of a mediaeval
Christmas to life. As evening approaches the magic doesn't
end. Though the merry cast will retire to their beds, and
the Castle locks its doors to the chill night air, the Ice Rink
will still welcome skaters and spectators alike. And the
festive lights and ice will sparkle brighter than before against
the wintry sky. To guarantee your skating, advance booking
is essential. (Please note that an additional charge
applies for skating). For further information and to make
a booking, visit
www.warwickfrostfair.com
