This was such a big hit last year that the team at ICC Wales have brought S K A T E back for the festive season. This is the perfect place for families to create magical memories at the first ever eco-friendly indoor ice rink to come to South Wales. This year, they tell us the indoor synthetic Glice rink is even better and bigger.

Glide across the smooth synthetic ice and take in the sights and sounds of Christmas, as you journey through magical illuminated light tunnels and falling ‘snow’. Whether you’re a seasoned skater or beginner, this is an experience you won’t want to miss!

And if you’ve worked up an appetite, there’s plenty to eat, drink and be merry at the festive food and drink stalls. From next-level street food to a festive tipple or two, they’ve got something for everyone to create those magical memories this Christmas.

There’s also a range of Christmas gift stalls with a wide variety of unique and festive items.

This is ice skating with a twist, Glice is much kinder to the environment. Looks like ice, feels like ice, but isn’t ice. At ICC Wales, sustainability is at the heart of their venue. The eco-friendly Glice rink is 0% additional emissions, 100% fun.

We were there last year and this is how it looked….
