★★★★★Featured review by Katarzyna. Wilkes

I’ve never ice skated before, but I always wanted to try. This was my first time, and we went with my family. I have to say, it was really fun! A very friendly and welcoming place — I highly recommend it

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families wanting to combine ice skating with a show or live entertainment on the same trip. The beginner-friendly rink suits first-timers, and the wheelchair access makes it workable for all family members. Bring your own water bottle as drinks at the bar are expensive.

💡Free parking available on-site
Bring a refillable water bottle to avoid expensive bar drinks
🎟️Arrive early for shows as seating outside the main arena fills quickly
🚗Badminton courts are available alongside skating — good for mixed-interest families

We've recently visited to see a show 'Rhythm of the Dance' An ideal location and accessible for all including wheelchair users if required. Enjoyed the show which was suitable for all ages.

We attended a cheer competition here a few weeks ago. The free parking was nice and we sat in the pub upstairs for a while which was also nice and clean. Not enough seating outside the arena which left us standing for a long time. Toilets were ok but need some updating. Not enough bins either but overall an ok place to visit.

Went to see a tribute show here as a friend was singing backing. Was surprised how big it was lots of seating to watch the show. Loads of parking easy access only down side very expensive drinks....... hence i took a water with me
