Our outdoor ice rink returns to Newcastle’s Times Square this November, bringing a sparkling festive experience to the city.

If you’re planning a team Christmas party, why not swap the usual meal or night out for something a little different?

With discounted group rates for 20+ people and the option of exclusive rink hire for larger organisations, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season together.
