If the date, time or quantity are not what you were expecting, please contact us as soon as possible info@lancasteronice.com.
Please arrive at the skate arena 20 minutes before your skating session begins so that you have time to get your skates and still enjoy your full session on the ice.
If you arrive late you will be allowed on the ice but you may not have your full session of skating and will only be able to stay for the duration of your booked session.
Skate hire is included in your booking. The smallest skating boot is a child’s size 7J (European size 25), this will fit children aged approximately 3 to 4 years.
The largest skating boot is a size 15 (European size 50).
There is very limited space for skaters to leave bags and personal belongings and owners will do so at their own risk.
There are 20 skate aids available for beginner skaters (users must be under 110cm), available to pre-book online. Any unreserved skate aids can be booked at the box office on a first come first served basis before your allotted skate session.
The number of skate aids is restricted due to capacity and insurance purposes.
Skate aids can be hired at £5 per session. We politely request that where and when possible groups share skate aids.

Ticket holders under the influence of alcohol will not be permitted on the rink.
Lancaster on Ice is an outdoor winter event and will be subjected to frequent varying weather conditions.
The event has experienced high demand for tickets and advance purchases are recommended to secure your place on the ice, particularly during weekend and holiday times.
Customers are advised to always assume their pre-booked session is on and arrive in ample time to skate.
If weather conditions are such that they severely impact the customer experience for a skate session, for example, severe high winds and flood level downbursts of rain, customers may be given the opportunity to exchange their booking for another time there and then at the rink. The decision on the viability of skate sessions will be made from hour to hour by the rink manager. If the weather changes part way through a skate session customers may also be given the opportunity to rearrange. Once again, this decision will be made by the rink manager.
In the highly unlikely event that the ice rink is closed for a sustained period due to weather conditions which impact the safety of skaters, notices will be given on the Facebook Page and Twitter feed and further instructions will be provided on how to rearrange a skate session.
Decisions will only be made on the suitability of the ice at the time of a skate session. Anyone who does not attend a skate session which is pre-booked will risk losing the chance to exchange a skate session.
We’d like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that trained and experienced marshalls, first aiders and ice rink technicians are always on hand to manage the rink and customer safety is a priority. Refunds will not be given under any circumstances.
