Seventeen Going Skating

Special ticketed event. Member discounts apply.
For all ages
Wednesday 20 November, 5:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm
Man and woman at Sam Fender Ice Skating night in Newcastle.

Take a Hypersonic Skate around our outdoor rink in Times Square as Sam’s biggest anthems echo through the toon.

Glide to Seventeen Going Under or skate through The Borders—this night is all about celebrating Sam Fender, right in the heart of Newcastle. Whether you’re rocking your Newcastle United shirt or bringing your Saturday energy, enjoy a night of Geordie spirit set to the soundtrack of his greatest hits.

Skating sessions last approximately one hour (includes time to fit skates, so expect around 45 minutes on the ice). Skates are provided.

To guarantee a space and avoid disappointment, we recommend booking tickets online ahead of your visit.

Annual science centre members enjoy a discounted rate on skating – simply select a member ticket when pre-booking online.

Useful info before your skate

  • Children aged 9 years and under must be accompanied by an adult on the ice. Children aged 10 – 12 years must be supervised by an adult, either on the ice rink or from the viewing platform.
  • Skating aids can be hired on the day of your visit for £5.00 (subject to availability). They are suitable for children under 1.2 metres in height.
  • Space on the viewing platform is limited and reserved for those supervising their children.
  • Skate hire is included in your ticket. If you have your own skates you’re welcome to use them, but we can’t give discounts.
  • Lockers are available from reception for a small charge to store valuables, but ultimately all items (including shoes) are left at your own risk.
  • Please wear suitable clothing – waterproofs, hats and gloves are recommended. Some people like to bring a change of clothing – particularly spare socks. Gloves and socks can be bought from the Life shop if you’re caught short.
  • If you use a wheelchair and you would like to use the rink, we recommend that you visit during quieter times (early sessions at weekends). You must be accompanied by an accompanying carer on foot and we will provide foot grips to accompanying carers, sorry but the carer cant skate whilst supporting you. Electric wheelchairs must be turned off whilst on the ice. We’d recommend calling the team on 0191 243 8210 ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment. Carers visit free of charge.
