Community Events at Willen on Ice

Willen on Ice is for everyone in our community. Alongside our public sessions, we set aside time on the rink for schools, youth groups and non-profit organisations to skate together at a reduced price. Whether it's a class treat, an end-of-term celebration or a festive outing for your members, we'd love to welcome your group onto the ice.
