The Natural History Museum's annual icing-over of its gardens returns in November with the arrival of a 1,050-square-metre rink surrounded by 76,000 glowing pea-lights dangling from the overhanging trees outside Alfred Waterhouse's imposing building. Additional attractions include a smaller 100-square-metre rink for youngsters, a stylish balcony cafe/bar (open to all) where you can warm your hands and insides on vin chaud or hot chocolate and a classic fairground carousel. Big-foots amongst you will be pleased to know that skates go up to adult size 15, five wheelchair sessions are also available - see www.nhm.ac.uk for details - while marshals are on hand to offer tips and advice during every session. If you're taking the kids along, ask for penguin stabilisers, which are brilliant for helping children skate with more confidence. The ice rink and cafe bara re available for private hire too for a minimum of 150 guests. In previous years there has been a Christmas Fair throughout December which will help you get into the Christmas spirit with some festive smells and shopping.
