Ice Skating at Better
Get your skates on and take to the ice with an Ice Skating session at Better.
Ice Skating is a great workout for your mind and body. Our public ice skating rinks are the perfect place to have fun with friends and family while enjoying the health benefits of skating, such as improved balance, flexibility and muscle tone.
At Better, our sessions are suitable for all ages and skill levels, whether you are a superstar in training or a beginner just starting out. Never skated before? We also offer Ice Skating lessons, ideal for kids and adults alike to help you improve your technique and grow your confidence on the ice.
Plus, since Better is part of a not-for-profit organisation, anything you pay gets reinvested directly into our rinks and centres, helping everyone make the most of our facilities.

What to Expect at an Ice Skating Session
A Better Ice Skating session is all about having a good time and unwinding on the ice as you move your body. Whether you’re catching up with friends or working on your technique, everyone is welcome at our public sessions.
Who is skating for?
Our Ice Skating sessions are for everyone and spending some time at the rink can have a range of benefits for people of all ages. Skating will help you improve your balance and coordination, meet new friends and manage stress as you unwind.
What should I bring to the rink?
To prepare for your visit, the best equipment you can bring with you is warm clothes, a padded jacket, trousers and gloves of course. This will help you stay warm and also break your fall if you do take a tumble on the ice. Skate hire is available for all sessions from child size 7 to an adult size 15. And for little ones who may need extra support, we have fun penguin skating aids to help to build independence and confidence.
Our Skating Sessions
Alongside our public sessions, we offer a range of specialist ice skating sessions for every level and ability:
Ice Skating Lessons

Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced skater, our Learn to Skate lessons will help you develop your skills on the ice through our nationally recognised British Ice Skating (BIS) programme.
