Leeds is set to sparkle this holiday season as the much-loved Ice Cube at Christmas returns to Millennium Square, Victoria Gardens, and Cookridge Street from next Friday (November 21).

A highlight of the city's festive calendar, the event promises something for everyone - from the ever-popular covered ice rink and traditional Christmas market stalls to thrilling rides and cosy seasonal hangouts.

The event will run daily with hours varying from noon until 9.30pm Monday through Thursday (10pm on Fridays), 11am to 10pm on Saturdays, and 11am to 7pm on Sundays (except Christmas and Boxing Day) up until New Year's Eve.

At the heart of the festivities is the 400 square metre covered ice rink beneath a beautiful transparent marquee, offering daily skating sessions perfect for gliding into the holiday season.
