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

Come and experience Holiday magic this December! Glide on the ice surrounded by beautiful lights and uplifting music - it's the perfect winter activity for families and friends of all ages, no matter how well you skate. Skate and dance to your favourite songs and holiday tunes under twinkling lights.

'Festive Ice' sessions allows a 60 minutes skate and include skate hire. (Skates are available from child size 5 to an adult size 13.) And for the smaller ones who may need extra support, you can hire 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.

 

 Book Ice Skating sessions -  Tickets are available to book from 14 days prior, from the time of the session.
