The ice rink at Abbey Leisure Centre, Pity Me will continue to be open until the end of the month. We have asked the council to look at either extending this or bringing it back at other times of the year, but while it is here, worth a trip down to see – it’s 20 years since I tried this so I guess it’s time to give it a go!

It is run by the same group which organised the rink in Durham earlier in the year – website is here: http://www.durhamicerink.co.uk/
