Children under 5 go through an amazing process of mental and physical development, sports like ice skating can push them in the right direction.

Adult SkateUK
It’s never too late to learn!
As requested, we have formalised an adult only session in our SkateUK programme:
Saturday mornings (time slot depends on skill level)
This is open to anyone 16 and over, aimed at beginner skaters. Once you’re a couple of sessions in, you’ll wonder why you didn’t take up this wonderful hobby before.
“Skating has revolutionised my relationship to movement, which, by the way has been a work-in-progress for 20 years. I don’t think about weight or discipline or fitness when I skate, or when I dive into the deep end of a pool. I think about flying. I think about experiencing life through the only body I will ever have.
Ice skating is meditative and difficult and terrifying and beautiful, like knitting on a roller coaster.You should try it sometime.”
