Get your skates on for winter wonderland fun

Located in St Johns, just over the way from Spinningfields, the recently unveiled Courts Club will undergo a makeover from Friday, November 8, with its tennis and basketball courts transformed into the city's newest, fully independent ice rink, from who previously operated the Spinningfields ice rink.

The rink is the second in the city, along with the one found at Cathedral Gardens, and will also feature food and drink operators slinging festive food favourites including winter gyros from Lucky Gyros, grilled cheeses, boozy hot chocolate, German BBQ specials and more.

Named Winter Assembly, the festive bash will also see the opening of a handful of 'Chalaoke' huts revamped log cabins decked out with karaoke machines and cosy blankets. They will be bookable for groups of up to 10 to sing their hearts out in.
