Peterborough’s ice rink to open for first time since coronavirus lockdown

The Bretton rink, run by Planet Ice, has been closed throughout the coronavirus crisis.

A spokesman for Planet Ice said: “The government has now announced the opening of ice rinks from Saturday August 15th. This is great news for all Planet Ice customers. Obviously, with such a short turnaround time we will work towards giving the customers the best ice skating experience possible for this weekend.

“All customers who have existing bookings will be contacted today (Friday 14th August) and will be given a new valid date. If you are unable to attend your new date, instructions will be provided in the email telling you how to move your existing booking. To anyone who has booked Patch & Private Hire, you will also be contacted today to confirm your new date.

“We would like to thank our customers for their patience and understanding over the last few months and we look forward to seeing you all back on the ice.”
