Planet Ice Celebrates 30 Years

Our Thank You to You: £5 Skating Sessions!

Planet Ice is celebrating 30 years, and to mark the occasion, we’re rolling back the clock with a special thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey.

From today, Thursday 17th September, through to Sunday 20th September, admission to our public skating sessions will be just £5.

While our ice rinks create the space, it is your passion that truly brings them to life. Over the past 30 years, countless memories have been made on the ice, and we would like to thank everyone who has been part of our past, our present and our future.

Here’s to 30 years of Planet Ice, and many more memories still to come.
