Waiting list closed
Unfortunately our parent and toddler lessons are currently oversubscribed, and we are not taking any new bookings for these at present. We hope to re-open our waiting list in February 2025. Junior skating lessons are still open.
Parent and toddler skating at Riverside
Don't be left out in the cold! Learn to glide and pirouette around the ice with our Get In! skate school.
Our Skate school courses follow the British Ice Skating (formerly NISA) approved Learn to Skate programme.
Our parent and toddler skating courses follow the Skate Tots programme, which gently introduces little ones between the ages of two and four to the ice, through fun games.
Our skating lessons run continually throughout the year and even better when you apply, you'll be able to enjoy a host of amazing benefits, including:
- free, unlimited ice skating for all skate school students at any public and holiday skating session.
- quick, easy direct debit payments spread the cost of payments across the year.
- the option to move students up at their own pace rather than having to wait until the end of a term.
- free skate hire.
- regular online feedback with our Course Pro home portal; log in any time to view weekly progress and achievements.
- Saturdays: 8.30am
- £42.70 per month Direct Debit for weekly lessons
