What to Wear.

To make your visit as enjoyable as possible we recommend the following dress code: Long socks – i.e. not trainer socks; trousers or tracksuit bottoms for male and female skaters, thin layers of clothing under a thick jumper or sweatshirt with a waterproof above; gloves, hats and scarves are also recommended – the scarf must be tucked in securely.

Please note – “hoodies” are not permitted to be worn “up” on the ice as they affect your all-round vision.
