National Ice Centre

Opened in 2000 by Olympic Champion Jayne Torvill, the £43 million National Ice Centre was the first twin Olympic-sized (60m x 30m) ice rink facility in the UK.

Situated in the city’s fashionable Lace Market, the NIC is just a short stroll from the Old Market Square and provides top class facilities and coaching staff for a whole range of ice sports from Free Skating and Ice Dance to Synchronized Skating, Ice Hockey and Short Track Speed Skating. The Nottingham Panthers also train here and use the venue for their home games.

The National Ice Centre is also the home of Trent FM Arena Nottingham – East Midlands hottest concert venue hosting the very best live music & sporting events to audiences up to 10,000.

Parent and toddler skating

You’ve fed the monkeys at the zoo, learned to swim at the local pool and tried out the swings at the park and now you can lace up your skates at the National Ice Centre! If you’re looking for a new activity to enjoy with your little ones, then why not try one of our Parent and Toddler ice skating sessions at the NIC.


Children aged between 18 months and five years (smallest skate size is a child’s size 5), can take part in a fun activity that can help build their confidence and increase their co-ordination. Our expert coaches will be on the ice with your youngsters, along with lots of toys, so they will be encouraged to learn through play in a safe environment. Please note that the toys are only available for the parent and toddler session.This gives you the perfect chance to enjoy a relaxing cuppa in T&D’s cafe bar overlooking the rink or you can get on the ice yourself alongside your toddler (dependant upon the toddler’s confidence levels).
