Christmas is all about spending quality time with your loved ones, and our real ice skating rink is the perfect place to do just that in South Leeds. Gather your family and friends and make cherished memories on the ice!
Very good. Children loved it. Proper ice is so much better than plastic used in some places. Staff efficient and helpful. Penguins a bonus. Will definitely use again. Shame it’s not all year round.

I visited with my hubby and 2 daughters (ages 9 and 3) on Sunday and we all had such a good time, my youngest especially loved been pushed around on the penguin skate aid. The staff were all helpful, polite and friendly when booking in. Would definitely book again, my kids have already asked when we’re going ice skating again!!

Had a great time with the family at the ice rink. Great value for money and well organised. Haven’t skated for 30+ years and took some getting back into it but really enjoyed it. Daughter had a blast and having been first to take a tumble managed to stay upright throughout the rest of the session. Terrific start to our festive celebrations.

We had a great time at Tingley Ice Rink. The rink was a good size and wasn’t too busy. We hired a skate aid for my 2 year old and she loved her first ice skating experience. The staff were friendly and professional and the cafe was perfect for a hot chocolate to warm up afterwards. We’ll definitely be back again next year for what I hope will become an annual tradition 🎄☃️⛸️

We loved ice skating….. lovely staff decent sized ice ring not too many people at any one time so we could skate around. A good price we had a lovely time, 45mins might not seem long but trust me it’s ample amount of time for a general skate

We had a great time at the ice rink at tingley. Set up was very good. Organisation was slick. Boots and equipment sorted quickly. Could pre book penguins (which you can’t always at other places). Little one (2yo) got over shoes instead of regular skates which clipped over his shoes and had 2 blades.
