Glide into the exciting world of ice skating! Children under 5 skate for free at the National Ice Centre.
We have tots sessions, foam parties, skating lessons, birthday parties and loads more! The National Ice Centre was given the royal seal of approval by HM the Queen on July 31 2002. This topped off £43 million and seven years of hard work, to turn the dream of the UK’s first centre of excellence in ice sports into reality. Nottingham has a long tradition of ice skating stretching back many years. I
