Popular Lancaster on Ice event set to return in 2026
Lancaster on Ice have officially submitted their planning application for this year’s event.
Lancaster on Ice is an annual winter wonderland and award-winning outdoor ice skating event held at Dalton Square in Lancaster.
First launched in 2018, the festival generally operates from late November to early January and features an 800sqm real-ice rink, a giant Ferris wheel, Christmas market stalls, traditional fairground rides, and a Giant Tipi Bar.
A spokesman for Lancaster on Ice said on Facebook: “We wanted to say a huge thank you to the incredible sponsors who helped make Lancaster On Ice 2025 possible.
“Events like Lancaster On Ice simply don’t happen without the support of local businesses and organisations that believe in bringing something special to our city.
"Your support helped us create unforgettable memories for thousands of visitors, support local trade throughout the winter season, and bring a little extra sparkle to Lancaster.
“Now, with the 2026 planning application officially going in, we’re excited to start the next chapter and (hopefully!) bring the magic back once again this winter.”
