We are independent and there is no harm in asking. You can ask for a smaller cup in our restaurant for instance, change your skates halfway through skating for a comfier fit (some people wear two pairs of socks and forget to up a size!), or that we can deliver bulky items to your ho-ho-home – just ask we’ll see what we can do.

We were so touched by recent visitor 5 star ratings and lovely comments on Facebook that we offered 20 pairs of FREE ice skating tickets to those people. A lovely review takes seconds to write and benefits us immensely, so we are always pleased to receive them. It also puts the boss in a happy mood and we can offer more in the future!!
