Ice skating is a fun and sociable way to keep fit during the cold autumn and winter months.

It is also a sport that one can learn easily to be able to enjoy it; once you can get your balance you are away. It is a good sport that  the whole family can take part in and children as young as 3 enjoy sliding on the ice.

Ice skating rings will offer lessons for those who want to improve their skills or have been inspired by Torvill and Dean.

Some ice skating rings also have reasonable entrance fees weekdays after school so check your local one.
