Facilities
What to bring
- Warm layers and a fleece or jacket for comfort while skating or watching
- Thick socks, as your own socks wear better than standard hire socks
- Gloves or mittens to keep small hands warm on the ice
- A small rucksack or bag for belongings whilst skating
- Snacks and a refillable water bottle, as the venue has vending machines but these can be pricey
Top tips
- Book a public skating session in advance during peak times to avoid disappointment and secure the best arrival slot
- Arrive 15-20 minutes early to collect skates and get comfortable before your session begins, avoiding a rush at changeover time
- Start younger children with skating aids if they're nervous, and don't worry if they need encouragement as many children build confidence quickly
- Check the session timetable carefully on the website as ice hockey matches and lessons may affect public skating availability
- The rink is particularly warm inside, so dress in layers you can remove rather than heavy coats
