Frozen Adventures Ice Skating is an exciting event happening at the renowned Billingham Forum Ice Arena, located right in the heart of Billingham town centre. This iconic ice arena has been a fixture in the town since its opening by Queen Elizabeth II in 1967. Following extensive renovations, it reopened in 2011 and is now considered the top-notch Ice Arena in the North East. With its popularity growing each year, the arena attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors who come to enjoy the various ice sessions available for skaters of all abilities.
Billingham Forum Ice Arena is not just a place for the public to skate; it is also home to the esteemed ice hockey teams, Billingham Stars and Cleveland Comets, as well as the Billingham Ice Skating Club, a thriving figure skating community. Throughout the year, the club puts on a dazzling array of shows, including an annual ice pantomime during the festive season.
While the arena caters to professional skaters, it warmly welcomes individuals of all skill levels. For those new to the ice, there is a fantastic Learn to Skate program that provides expert guidance and support to enhance skills and boost confidence. For a fun night out, visitors can enjoy the lively Friday Night Pulse sessions, or gather their whole family for the delightful Simply Skate sessions.
Inclusivity is a core value at the ice arena, which is why they offer a special disability session called SNAPS (special needs activities with parent support). This initiative has been a tremendous source of enjoyment and support for families for over two decades.
