Advice for Skaters
For the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all patrons please observe the following rules and guidance:
Do’s…
· Please only use our hire skates on the rink.
· Please ensure that you have the correct size skates and that they are fitted tightly, especially around your ankles.
· Do wear socks with the skates. Our kiosk sells these so don’t worry if you have forgotten to bring these with you on the day of your visit.
· We strongly recommend wearing sun glasses when skating on our rink, particularly on bright days.
· Do keep to the black rubber matted area whilst wearing our skates. Walking on paving slabs can damage them. Any unnecessary damage caused will result in a charge being made.
· Do skate in an anti-clockwise direction unless directed otherwise by a member of staff.
· Children under the age of 8 years old should be supervised by an adult at all times. The adult does not need to be skating but must remain within the rink area. We advise all skaters, to carry an emergency contact number for the unlikely event of an emergency.
