Set against the majestic backdrop of the Civic Centre in the heart of the city, the Southampton City Ice Rink will provide an opportunity for people to glide on a real ice rink this winter and will form the centrepiece of the city's Christmas celebrations.

The 20m x 30m ice rink, which is brought to you by Cousins Entertainment Ltd and Southampton City Council, will have a capacity of 200 skaters at any one time. It will be open from Friday 21 November until Sunday 11 January, excluding Christmas Day.
