Ice skating is a fun activity for all the family to enjoy - follow these simple tips for safety:

Wear comfortable clothing - not too tight but not too baggy.

Gloves will keep your hands warm and provide protection if you fall.

Wear comfortable socks.

Do not wear a scarf - it is dangerous to you and others.

Tie your skates all the way up to your ankle to ensure maximum comfort.

Before getting onto the ice, try walking around to get used to the feel and weight of your skates.

Do not eat, drink or use your mobile phone whilst on the ice
