New for this year, the rink will see a 'frightfully realistic' giant spider take centre stage, wrapped in a bright white LED light web around the sparkling Christmas tree centre piece.
Fancy dress is encouraged as skaters are invited to capture those all-important photo worthy moments on the ice.
Following the opening week of Scare Skate, from October 27 to 31, the ghoulish spider will go into hibernation as the 'dazzling' seven-metre-tall Christmas tree transforms Cathedral Gardens into 'the ultimate winter wonderland'.
Kelly Baker, director of Managed Ice Rinks, who coordinates the event, said: "Halloween is an integral part of the Manchester calendar, and we are thrilled to see Scare Skate play an important part in the city celebrations for another year.
"Scare Skate is the perfect activity to bring the family together this season and we are looking forward to celebrating Halloween in the Cathedral Gardens grounds before transforming the rink into a winter wonderland in November.”
Tickets for Scare Skate are available now, with prices starting at £15.50 for adults and £12.50 for children, with discounted family, group bookings and season tickets also available.
Students and blue light card holders will also benefit with a dedicated discount whilst all customers purchasing tickets before August 31
