Description

Bradford Ice Arena has been a popular destination for over 55 years, first opening in 1966 as the Silver Blades Ice Rink. It is known for its welcoming atmosphere and offers a variety of skating sessions for people of all ages and abilities. Conveniently located near the National Media Museum and City Park, it’s easy to reach by public transport.

The arena hosts general ice skating sessions, family-friendly sessions for beginners, and lively disco skating with lights and music. Visitors can also enjoy daytime discos with skating aids like Penguins and Snowmen, making it fun for kids. Facilities include a café, dance studio for hire, and the option to rent the ice arena for private use.

Peak admission is £8.00 (£6.80pp for families), while off-peak is £6.50 (£5.30pp for families). Skate hire is £2.80, and children under 5 skate free.

Birthday parties here are a unique experience, with packages including skating sessions, buffet meals, and party coordination. Bradford Ice Arena is a perfect spot for families, friends, and skating enthusiasts looking for fun, fitness, and memorable experiences on the ice.

Features

General Ice Skating Session: Join us on general sessions where the house lights are on and everyone is welcome to skate at a steady pace. Some of these sessions are also used to teach ice hockey or figure skating, so there may be restrictions on ice availability to the public.
Family Session: Family sessions are reserved for beginner skaters and families, so that only supervised youngsters are on the ice. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult who will supervise them. These sessions are perfect for small children and people who may be a little nervous about giving the ice a go. Please do not send teenagers to this type of session unaccompanied, as they will be refused entry.
Disco Session: Skating with an atmosphere, disco lights and loud music turn our ice pad into a great venue for all in attendance. Anyone is welcome to these sessions but very small children or complete beginners are advised to try a family session first.
Daytime Disco Session: Anyone is welcome to these sessions, half house lights, disco lights, and loud music. Penguins and Snowmen are available on these sessions.
