Don't be left out in the cold! Learn to glide and pirouette around the ice with our Get In! skate school.

Our Skate school courses follow the British Ice Skating (formerly NISA) approved Learn to Skate programme.
Our parent and toddler skating courses follow the Skate Tots programme, which gently introduces little ones between the ages of two and four to the ice, through fun games.
