** The Rink is currently closeD * we re-open on October 1st 2008 **

Beginners please!

It's very easy to get started curling! We provide all you need, including equipment, shoes and instruction (and the ice rink of course!).

A session lasts for two hours, plenty of time to learn how to play – and to have a fun game as well. Sessions start at 10am, 12 noon, 2pm, 4pm 6pm and 8pm daily.

Curling is usually played with eight people – two teams of four. To hire on lane for eight players costs £128 for two hours, which works out at £16 each , including equipment shoes and coaching. We don't allow novices on the ice without an instructor.

There are three lanes, so up 24 players can play on the rink at one time.

If you wish to book for less than eight people, we offer the following options:

For 6 or more players you are best to book a lane as usual (£128). This works out more expensive per player, but remember, you get to throw more curling tones because there are fewer of you!

For 3 to 5 players, you may prefer to book only one hour instead of two. This will depend on ice being available. This option costs £66 per hour.

For 1 or 2 players a private lesson can be booked lasting one hour at a cost of £30 for one person or £20 each for two.

The rink has a fully licensed bar – and we can arrange catering to your requirements.
