We were hoping for a decent family time but all was ruined because rental skates are terrible!!! Blades are completely blunt. Several people were experiencing the same, many of the visitors reported to the stuff who didn't care at all. £80 thrown away...
Went for a Christmas skate on Sunday 21st. The rink was really busy but there was still plenty of room. We had a great time with the music and fun atmosphere. However the queues to first of all, get your skates and then, to return them was at least 30 minutes each time. I don't know if there could be a way to reduce this at peak times. Otherwise, a fab time!
really good , went ice skating with my 6 friends fo 3 hours for only 14.52 each!! we had a really good time!!
My girls absolutely loved it! A big thank you to the lovely young lady who helped them up with their falls. We’d definitely be here every weekend if it was a bit more affordable for kids!
Rental skates were terrible. Awful fit and the blades were blunt. Unable to use them. We've gone elsewhere previously and had no issues with the skates. The ice was decent and facilities ok. Papa John's food was nice but the place was a mess with no effort from the staff to pick up rubbish and wipe the tables.
I really like this ice rink. Al the seats offer a good view of the rink, which is helpful if you are watching somebody skate, or watching an ice hockey game. The seats are not the most comfortable since they are only plastic. The stairs can also be quite slippery, and there isn't a rail to hold onto, so do be careful when walking up and down the stairs. There are plenty of food options at this rink, including Papa John's pizza. The staff are all really friendly. The ice hockey team here is also very good, and just recommend going to watch them if you get the chance!
Take my daughter her for an hour and a half skate session. She loved it. Skate aid hire is a bit expensive tho as you only got an hour before having to pay again. Food was.good but waited 30 mins. Would look at going back tho.
Pro's - Assistance staff on hand to help those less able. Great choice of music playing, which lifted the atmosphere. It was busy without being rammed. Overall, it was a good hour out for family. Con's - could do with the cafe/bar being open for parents, and it's not cheap.
Book tickets on line if you can as it is a bit cheaper! But you can turn up, like we did, and pay on the door and hire skates. For youngsters and older beginners you can also hire penguins or polar bears to aid stability. My granddaughter loved hers and really enjoyed her first go at ice-skating. Need £1 for a locker.
Went to watch Boxxer Series Lightweights i must say it was a Fantastic Evening, the whole experience was great and the atmosphere was brilliant. The boxing was thrilling to watch and kept you on the edge of your seat. The beer prices was steep but to be expected paid £6 for half pint and £10 for a pint. I also had a Papa John's pizza that I paid £15 for a large cheese & tomato. Food was nice and was cooked fresh. Overall we had a great night for this boxing event
