The long awaited ice skating lessons are finally here!
We are offering a set of 6 lessons at Whitley Bay Ice Rink starting on the 6th of February (week 5) ending on the 12th of March (week 10). There is a 2 hour skate each week, in which there is a 30 minute group lesson. The rink runs separate lessons for beginners and senior skaters. Anyone who can spin, jump or has 3/4 years of skating experience would immediately go into Senior class, however if you are unsure which group you would be in, you can speak to a coach on the night. The 6 lessons cost £135 total. Unfortunately, you can't sign up for individual lessons so try to come every week. More information can be found here: https://whitleybayicerink.co.uk/learn-to-skate/

- Rink entry for 2 hours in a public skate session
