Great Santa Skate - Thursday 12th December

Christmas Holiday Club at the National Ice Centre - Decemebr & January
For just £35 per day, children can join the National Ice Centre at their Holiday Club for fun activities and ice skating everyday between 8.30am - 5.30pm! Each day will be full of sporting activities, perfectly planned to enhance co-ordination, agility, and develop a wide range of other skills ready to transfer onto the ice. Children will then put all these into practice as our staff help them learn some basic skating skills, designed to improve their experience of ice skating.
Festive Parent & Tots Sessions - 23rd, 24th and 30th December
Designed especially for parents with pre-schoolers, little ones can take to the ice and grow confidence at their own pace while they skate with the ice equipment. The entire ice rink is exclusively for little ones and parents/guardians only so there will be no older children on the ice. Pushchairs and prams are welcome on the ice with children receiving stickers after your skate.
