National Ice Centre

National Ice Centre

Opened in 2000 by Olympic Champion Jayne Torvill, the £43 million National Ice Centre was the first twin Olympic-sized (60m x 30m) ice rink facility in the UK.

The National Ice Centre is also the home of Capital FM Arena Nottingham – East Midlands hottest concert venue hosting the very best live music & sporting events to audiences up to 10,000.

Session Information

Ice skating is a cool experience whatever your age or ability and where better to give it a go than at the National Ice Centre – the UK’s centre for excellence for ice sports. There are a range of ice skating sessions on offer to suit all ages and abilities.

 

Parent and Toddler Sessions

Children aged between 18 months and five years can take part, with sessions aimed at building confidence and co-ordination whilst having fun with toys on the ice. These run on Mondays and Wednesdays 1.15 – 1.45pm and Sundays 10 – 10.45, with access to the remaining public session. We recommend that you arrive 20mins prior to the session you are attending.

Club Night
Friday night is our Club Night – tasty beats, resident and guest DJs, neon lights and strobes


R&B Night
If you love your R&B vibes then the National Ice Centre is the place to be on a Wednesday night.


Socialice
A fantastic session especially for adults, taking place between 10-11.30am on a Tuesday and Thursday when we have two ice pads in operation (see ice schedule for information). This will give over 18’s the chance to have a relaxed skate, sharpen their skills and meet up with friends.


Please take a look at our timetable for further information about session times. Please note extra sessions are put on during school holidays please visit www.national-ice-centre.com for more details.

Parent and toddler skating

You’ve fed the monkeys at the zoo, learned to swim at the local pool and tried out the swings at the park and now you can lace up your skates at the National Ice Centre! If you’re looking for a new activity to enjoy with your little ones, then why not try one of our Parent and Toddler ice skating sessions at the NIC.

Children aged between 18 months and five years (smallest skate size is a child’s size 5), can take part in a fun activity that can help build their confidence and increase their co-ordination. Our expert coaches will be on the ice with your youngsters, along with lots of toys, so they will be encouraged to learn through play in a safe environment. Please note that the toys are only available for the parent and toddler session.This gives you the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxing cuppa in T&D’s cafe bar overlooking the rink or you can get on the ice yourself alongside your toddler (dependant upon the toddler’s confidence levels).
