Children's Ice Skating Lessons

Our Learn to Skate (5 - 17 years) lessons and coaches are approved by the National Ice Skating Association, so you’re in safe hands all the way on your ice skating journey.

In our fun lessons children will work through the 8 Skate UK levels that will get you from taking that nervous first step on the ice to spins and jumps in a friendly and no-pressure environment. Take a look at what you'll learn at each stage.


Plus, you can also take advantage of unlimited free ice skating on our public sessions so you continue to practice at your leisure.
