Ice rink where you can skate under twinkling lights to festive music

Families can take a spin on a real ice rink in the run up to Christmas while listening to festive music, just 45 minutes from Liverpool.

With the Liverpool Ice Festival not taking place this year, people might be looking for where else they can strap on some blades and go for a glide on the ice. Running until January 2, ‘Skate at Tinseltown’ is being run in partnership with Hits Radio, with people able to book a 45 minute ice skating session to celebrate the winter season.

To add to the magic, the ice rink is beneath a sky full of twinkling lights, with Christmas music transporting skaters to a whimsical, festive haven. If you don’t fancy skating, you can sit back and admire the towering Christmas tree and wintry scene, with a cosy hot chocolate or mulled wine.

Also at Tinseltown this year is the ‘Christmas with Paddington’ grotto experience, which runs until Christmas Eve and ‘Festive Flicks’ Saturday film screenings, which include Frozen, Arthur Christmas and Home Alone.

Bruce Gardner, Brand Experience Director at Trafford Centre said: “This Christmas we will create a unique, festive, and magical offering for visitors in the Northwest and beyond.
