Flemingate Centre in Beverley

Flemingate has yet to announce their Christmas plans for 2022.

Beverley’s Flemingate centre is hosting an eco-friendly skating rink for the season of goodwill. Surrounded by Flemingate’s sparkling Christmas lights, the rink will be open from Saturday, November 30, to Sunday, January 5, with a skating session costing just £5 for 45 minutes, including skate hire.

The 10m x 10m rink is synthetic, meaning skaters can enjoy all the benefits of ice skating but without a cold, wet and slushy surface. The synthetic rink doesn’t need electricity or water to maintain an ice-like surface. It can remain outside in any temperature.
