An ice skating rink will open at the Metrocentre in time for the festive season.

The ‘Skate Metrocentre’ rink will open on November 15 and will be in the Yellow Mall car park.

The rink will be open until January 5, 2025.

Denisa Cook, operations director at Ice Leisure Group, said: "Metrocentre is the perfect place to ice-skate on real ice this winter with your friends and family.

"You can really have a full day out at Metrocentre."

Gavin Prior, Metrocentre centre director, said: "We’re incredibly excited to be bringing back our ice-skating experience even bigger and better, to Metrocentre this winter.

"Our new ‘Nice Ice Baby’ rink offers a fantastic winter experience for visitors of all ages to enjoy."

The rink will be open Wednesday to Sunday from November 15 to November 30, and then seven days a week from December.

Midweek sessions will be available from 2pm to 8pm and weekend hours will be from 9am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays.
