The management team said:

“We’re really pleased to be back at Victoria Park in Southport!

“There is something really magical about ice skating in December, around the festive season. It brings happy memories for so many people.

“We welcomed around 12,000 – 13,000 people last year, it was so popular.

“We can do group booking for 10 or over just contact us via our website.

“It took a group of us nine days to install the ice rink – it’s real ice, not synthetic – and it’s worth it to see the enjoyment on everyone’s faces.

“The ice skating rink is situated inside a large marquee. An adjacent marquee is where we provide food and drink, with an on-site bar, and food including burgers, sausages and more.”
