Right in the
heart of York.
Behind York Art Gallery, in York Museum Gardens — a five-minute walk from the city centre and ten from the station.
Here's exactly how to find us.
However you're travelling.
On foot from the station
Around 10 minutes. Head down Station Road, cross Lendal Bridge, and follow the river-facing entrance into the Gardens — the abbey ruins are your landmark
On foot from the city centre
About 5 minutes from Parliament Street. Head towards York Art Gallery on Exhibition Square — we're directly behind it.
By public transport
Most city bus routes stop within a few minutes' walk. Park & Ride buses run regularly from all four sites into the centre. Routes
By car & parking
York's city centre is largely car-free. We recommend the Marygate or Bootham Row car parks, both a short walk away. Park & Ride is easiest for a busy evening.
Drop-off point
The nearest set-down point for taxis and coaches is on Museum Street, right by the Gardens' main gate.
Step-free access
The main Gardens entrance and the rink itself are step-free. Full accessibility details are on our Accessibility page.
From Ice Rink to THOR'S tipi
It's a quick 3-minute, wheelchair accessible walk from our ice rink to THOR'S tipi bar. From rink to roaring fires & mulled. wine in the blink of an eye...almost!
