OLYMPIC champion figure skater Robin Cousins was among the visitors to the first day of the Christmas Festival at the East of England Showground yesterday.The star, who took home the gold medal in the 1980 winter Olympics in Lake Placid, was in town to promote a show he has co-directed and choreographed.
He joined the throngs of people at the show, which runs until Sunday and is now in its fifth year.
It offers more than 250 gift and craft stands as well as a food hall, to get visitors in the mood for the festive season.
Mr Cousins will be back at the Showground in February next year, when the Holiday On Ice show, Mystery, comes to Peterborough Exec.
He said he was excited about taking a Holiday On Ice show to the venue for the first time.
“The venue that we’re going to be playing here in Peterborough at the Showground is big enough to be able to accommodate the vast set and the scale of the show we have, but will be small enough, with 3,500 people, that it will be quite intimate for an ice show,” he said.
