Eastbourne’s Lightning Fibre Ice Rink Set for Big Return this Christmas
23rd September 2022
Eastbourne’s Lightning Fibre Ice Rink will make a magical return to the town centre this December, bigger and better than before.
Skaters can look forward to gracing real ice once again between 1 December and 8 January, with an even bigger ice rink, located in front of the Enterprise Shopping Centre.
With tickets on sale from 30 September, skaters are being urged to book early to avoid missing out after last year’s sell out success, and to take advantage of early bird tickets.
Held at 2021 prices, early bird tickets cost just £12 per adult, £8 per child or £30 per family, with skate hire included.
Organised by Your Eastbourne BID, the ice rink is once again sponsored by Lightning Fibre.
Chief Executive of Your Eastbourne BID, Stephen Holt said “The support for the Lightning Fibre Ice Rink last year was just incredible, with over 17,000 skaters in its first year, we simply couldn’t wait to announce its return. We saw a large number of sold out sessions last year, so when the box office opens next Friday, I would urge everyone to get your skates on and book as soon as possible to avoid missing out.”
Ben Ferriman, CEO and Founder of Lightning Fibre said “The success last year was phenomenal, and we’re thrilled to play our part in bringing the Eastbourne Lightning Fibre Ice Rink back, bigger and better, for 2022. This is just one of many community engagement initiatives for Lightning Fibre across East Sussex, and we’re proud to ‘do our bit’ for the communities we serve.”
Eastbourne Borough Council’s Head of Tourism & Culture, Annie Wills said “We’re delighted to see the return of the ice rink. There is so much going on this Christmas from Panto to Christmas shopping events and the ice rink is the icing on the cake. There really is every reason to make a day of it in Eastbourne and get into the festive spirit, or even book a short break.”
This year will see a series of new sessions at the rink with reduced numbers for the serious skaters, while at all other sessions the popular Booksy penguin skate aids will once again be available to hire for children and for those who need a little extra support.
Schools sessions at reduced prices will also be available to book in advance and lockers will be available throughout.
The Eastbourne Lightning Fibre Ice Rink returns from 1 December to 8 January, open from 10am to 8pm weekdays and 10am to 10pm at weekends, with further town centre Christmas events due to be announced over the coming weeks.
Sponsored by Lightning Fibre, the ice rink is also supported by the Enterprise Centre, PRG Marketing Communications, Booksy and VisitEastbourne, with on-site advertising and further sponsorship opportunities available.
Tickets go live on 30th September. To book tickets or for more information, visit www.eastbourneicerink.co.uk
