Welcome to the Link Centre Ice Rink. Home to an international sized (26m x 56m) ice pad and over 1000 spectator seats. The ice rink provides an extensive Learn to Skate and public ice skating programme for beginers to elite. So there is something for everyone to have a fun day out with family and friends.
Never been ice skating before? Don't worry Team GB and Dancing on Ice star Perri Shakes-Drayton is here with some helful tips.
Our public ice skating sessions are suitable for all ages and abilities whether you are a superstar in training or a beginner just setting out. For the smaller ones who may need extra support we have fun penguin skating aids or snowmen that can be their companion on the ice and help them find their feet. Pick up your penguin or snowman quickly as these fun little fellows are extremely popular and there can be a wait for one during peak session (skate aids cost £4.00 for half hour).
Remember you can book online to save time and avoid the queues during peak sessions.
