The ice rink in Town Hall Square opens on 10 November.
In November and December, the City of Hafnarfjörður, in collaboration with Bæjarbíó, will operate Hjartasvellið, a 200-square-metre ice rink for young people of all ages. The Heart Rink will, as it did last year, be located in front of Bæjarbíó and the Hafnarfjörður Library, on Ráðhústorg itself. The installation of the Heart Rink begins this week.
100% eco-friendly and 100% fun
In November and December, the City of Hafnarfjörður, in collaboration with Bæjarbíó, will operate Hjartasvellið, a 200-square-metre ice rink for young people of all ages. The rink was opened in the run-up to Christmas 2021, and thousands of visitors have since enjoyed skating in the heart of Hafnarfjörður. As with last year, the Heart Rink will be located in front of Bæjarbíó and the Hafnarfjörður Library, on Ráðhústorg itself. This location pleasantly links the Christmas Village in the town centre with the light display in Hellisgerði. It's also ideal to pop into the Hafnarfjörður Library after your skate to warm up and read a book. The Heart-shaped Ice Rink opens at 4 p.m. on Friday, 10th November, and its last day of operation is St. Lucia's Day.
The ice rink will be open from 10 November to 23 December 2023.
The Heart Rink is 100% eco-friendly, as no water or electricity is used to freeze it. The rink is built on specially designed synthetic ice plates which have the same properties as natural ice, offering great fun, an experience and exercise for the whole family. Skating sessions are now on sale at tix.is and include skate and helmet hire. We will be open Friday to Sunday in November, with Thursdays added in December.
Open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
- Thursdays 16:00-21:00
- Fridays 16:00-21:00
- Saturdays 12:00-21:00
- Sundays 12:00-19:00
The installation of the Heart Slide begins this week. General car parks in Town Hall Square, in front of the Hafnarfjörður Library and the Town Cinema, will be closed while the Heart Slide is open. Disabled parking spaces by the library will remain open.
