I'm not a skater, nor am I ever likely to be. However if I was, I'd be off to The Pavilion at once.
The Royal Pavilion is home to an annual temporary ice rink. If you're thinking of coming, it costs £11 per 45 mins, or £9 if you're under 12.
But what a back-drop! The location is stunning, it must be the most beautiful ice rink in the UK.
I have only tried to ice skate once, and that was with just one skate. I very soon landed on my backside, and felt the pain for several weeks. I must have been about 7 or 8, our rink was a frozen river.
I notice that there is a Café/Bar for observers at The Pavilion; how very sensible.
I have a very long bucket list of things I never want to do; ice skating is very high up!
Newcastle Centre for Life has an outdoor ice rink each year, but cannot compare with Brighton's stunning backdrop. As it happens, my only experience of ice skating was at the Brighton ice rink some 50 years ago, I survived largely undamaged, but not sufficiently enthralled as to want to repeat the exercise. Not sure if that ice rink still exists?
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't. I did go there once but only as an observer.
