TICKETS for Bournemouth’s outdoor Christmas ice rink are now on sale.

The attraction was launched in the Lower Gardens last year by the Town Centre BID group and is being brought back due to its popularity.

The rink is opening from November 16 to January 6 and is open every day except Christmas day, with skates available for hire.

Tickets for the one-hour sessions are priced at £8.50 per adult and £7.50 per child -aged four to 16. Tickets can be purchased in advance from www.makeitbournemouth.co.uk/icerink or by calling 02920 230 130.

Skaters should arrive 15 minutes before the booked skate time to allow for boot fitting. During term times the first session each day is 2.15pm from Monday to Friday and on school holidays and weekends the rink starts at 11am. The last sessions from Sunday to Thursday are at 7.15pm and on Fridays and Saturday at 8.45pm.
