Lifestyle: Ice Cube set for New Year return
The Ice Cube will return to Millennium Square, Leeds, in February 2018, once again providing the opportunity for visitors of all ages and abilities to try their hand at ice skating under a covered outdoor rink.
Organised by Leeds City Council, Ice Cube is now in its 18th year and will be open daily from Friday 2 February until Sunday 25 February 2018.
As well as general public ice skating there will also be an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to sharpen their skills under the watchful gaze of expert coaches. A four-week Skate UK tuition programme for skating enthusiasts of all levels will be held on a Saturday morning by qualified skating professionals.
The Ice Cube will also be hosting a range of winter themed family rides and attractions. A special ‘first steps to skating’ tuition programme for Leeds schools children will once again be available during term time for schools to book and a weekly dedicated accessible session is also available every Thursday morning for wheelchair users and the disabled.
Councillor Judith Blake, leader of Leeds City Council, said: “It’ll be great to see Ice Cube back on Millennium Square and to see children and families once again enjoying such a unique attraction right at the heart of the city centre.
“This year we’ve had some new and exciting additions to the wonderful programme of activities on Millennium Square and I hope even more people will be able to come along and have some fun at Ice Cube next month.”
