The National Ice Centre was given the royal seal of approval by HM the Queen on July 31 2002. This topped off £43 million and seven years of hard work, to turn the dream of the UK’s first centre of excellence in ice sports into reality.

The Arena Rink was opened on the 1st April 2000 by Jayne Torvill and was followed by the Olympic Rink opening almost a year later on 7th April 2001. This made the National Ice Centre the first twin Olympic-sized (60m x30m) ice rink facility in the UK heralding a new era in the development of ice skating.

The centre 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 National Ice Skating Association (NISA) has designated the National Ice Centre as a Centre of Excellence for Short Track Speed Skating and it is home to the Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating squad.

The Nottingham Panthers also train here and use our venue for their home games.

Public skating & skating lessons

The Olympic Rink provides daily public skating sessions with specific family skating, parent and toddler and disco sessions so there’s something to suit everyone’s tastes and skills.
