Having family time together is great. But everyone knows that the happiest family time comes with a pulse.
If your lot have been cooped up too long, treat them to something different: from swimming, trampolining and ice skating, we’ve got everything you need for proper, affordable, full-on, laugh-your-socks-off family time together – and all while getting active!
Ice Skating
Skating is great to have fun with friends and family while improving balance, flexibility, muscle tone and core strength. Public Skating sessions are suitable for everyone, all ages and all skill levels. Skate hire is available for all sessions from child size 5 to an adult size 13. And for the smaller ones who may need extra support, we have fun penguin skating aids to help build independence and confidence on the ice.
Our late Tuesdays and Fridays sessions are Disco Ice, with flashing lights and loud music. Disco Ice is not suitable for under 5s. Skating aids not available.
- Tickets are available to book from 14 days prior, from the time of the session.
