Lessons FAQs

What should I wear?

We recommend wearing multiple warm layers and a thick pair of socks for your lessons. Depending on your lesson type, gloves and boot covers may be required.

What time should I arrive for my lessons?

We suggest arriving 15-20 minutes before your lesson to allow enough time to put on your skates and prepare for the session.

What happens if I miss a lesson?

If you miss a lesson, it is typically non-refundable, and we cannot guarantee any rescheduled or makeup lessons. In rare cases, a makeup lesson may be possible, subject to coach and course availability, but this is not guaranteed.

Do you provide skate sharpening services?

We only offer Skate Sharpening at Planet Ice Hemel Hempstead, Solihull, Uttoxeter and Widnes. Skates will need to be left at the location for a few days up to a week to be sharpened.
Skate Sharpening costs are from £6.50.
