PEOPLE from Bromsgrove and Droitwich are being invited to get their skates on and head down to Webbs Garden Centre in Wychbold for a truly wintery experience.

As part of its festive celebrations the garden centre has opened its own open-air real ice rink, with a clear roof covering, which will be staying in place until the new year.

The ice rink is staying open seven days a week until Sunday, January 4 with some evening sessions for people wanting to skate under the stars. Each session is 45 minutes long and includes skate hire for £6

Webbs chairman, Ed Webb said: “There’s nothing to make you feel festive more than skating outdoors on real ice. And this year we have our biggest rink ever plus a great clear roof covering so you can skate whatever the weather. It’s a great activity with family or friends and we are thrilled we can bring such a cool experience to our customers again this year.

“It’s magical skating outside in the early evening with lights twinkling and frost in the air and just as much fun in the quieter sessions, perhaps teaching your children to skate.”
