Fermanagh ice skating rink set to make a return this winter

Co Fermanagh is set to welcome back its only ice skating rink in the lead up to Christmas 2022.

The synthetic ice rink at the Share Discovery Village near Lisnaskea proved to be a big hit with families from across the county and beyond last year when it opened its doors for the first time.

Now the activity centre has announced that ‘Share Village on Ice’ will return for a second year, just in time for the festive season as it opens on 18 November.

The centre welcomed around 9,000 visitors to the site last year, and its CEO Darragh Collins is hoping to bring more people this year with a bigger rink.

"When we started to plan for Share Village on Ice last year, we had very high hopes and expectations. We had a clear vision for what we wanted to create," Darragh said.

"I cannot believe how far we exceeded these expectations last year, both in terms of the numbers of people who visited the rink and how amazing the whole place looked. We are delighted to be able to bring an even bigger rink to Fermanagh this year again.

"We have had so many enquiries after last year and it is great to have been able to respond positively to these. We hope people will avail of the rink this year and that we can finish 2022 on a high."

This year the ice rink will open from 18 November to 4 January, with prices starting from £50 for a family of 4. It will be open from 10am to 8pm daily.

Founded in 1981, the Share village is now one of Northern Ireland’s largest residential centres with more than 200 beds and 65 acres of grounds and facilities, and specifically caters for those with disabilities as part of its activities.
