Curling Lanes

Cambridge, England is known for its historic university and scenic river views, but during winter, it offers a refreshing twist on seasonal entertainment with Christmas In Cambridge’s Curling Lanes. This distinctive holiday experience combines the chill of winter with the warmth of a festive gathering. Located at Parker’s Piece, a classic public green space in the heart of the city, the Curling Lanes bring an unexpected dash of sport and celebration to Cambridge’s outdoor scene.

Unlike traditional ice rinks, these curling lanes are synthetic surfaces designed to simulate the feel of the game, making it accessible and fun for all ages. Guests can book a private lane for up to eight people and spend an hour gliding stones across the sheet while sipping on carefully curated holiday beverages. The Alpine booth adjacent to the lanes serves up beers, mulled wine, hot chocolate, cider, and even bottles of Prosecco, creating an inviting social atmosphere amid crisp winter air.

Curling is a sport of finesse and strategy, and it’s especially memorable when combined with the vibrant Christmas market ambiance. Cambridge’s outdoor winter activities are rare, as cold weather often drives locals indoors, so this event provides a welcome balance — a chance to be active outdoors without sacrificing comfort or social connection. This seasonal offering stands apart by delivering a playful take on winter tradition, blending sport with festive indulgence.

Participants are encouraged to bundle up warmly to enjoy this hour of laughter, light competition, and community spirit. Whether a group of friends, family, or colleagues, Curling Lanes from Christmas In Cambridge create lasting holiday memories right in the city’s open air. For travelers seeking a unique outdoor winter adventure in England’s historic city, Curling Lanes offers both novelty and cheer.
