Open-air ice
Skate under the open sky with the crisp winter air and the lights of your venue around you. Open-air rinks suit town squares, retail parks and leisure destinations.
Covered and indoor ice
Premium ice inside a marquee, an empty unit or an atrium, for skating whatever the weather. A covered rink trades more more days of the season, which is why we recommend one for most sites.
