We’re doing Christmas a little differently this year! Our barn will be transformed into a festive Christmas skating rink, complete with Christmas trees, lights, decorations and a whole lot of festive atmosphere. It’s the perfect opportunity to get together with family and friends, put on your skates and enjoy something a little different this Christmas.
Starting 28th November and running until Christms Eve
Not quite… but it certainly feels like it! Our rink uses Wonder Ice SuperGlide, a specialist synthetic skating surface designed to give you a smooth and enjoyable skating experience — without the need for frozen water.
🌱 A MORE ECO-FRIENDLY WAY TO SKATE Because our rink doesn’t need refrigeration, freezing or regular resurfacing, it uses significantly less water and energy than a traditional ice rink. So you can enjoy some festive skating while making a more energy-efficient choice.
⛸️ SMOOTH & EASY TO SKATE Wonder Ice SuperGlide provides a smooth surface that’s easy to get moving on, making it particularly great for children, beginners and first-time skaters.
No need to worry about getting your balance on slippery ice — just grab your skates and enjoy!
