Get your skates on for Christmas fun at Magna

If you fancy a spot of skating this festive season, then Rotherham’s Magna Science Adventure Centre is the place to visit.

The popular venue will be launching its indoor winter skating rink on Saturday December 19.

The rink will offer visitors the chance to skate against the backdrop of Magna’s industrial architecture until Sunday January 17.

The rink aims to add a new seasonal dimension to the attraction, transforming Magna’s striking event space, The Face of Steel, into a magical festive experience.

Magna’s Refuel Café will be serving up a new seasonal menu, Après Skate, offering warming food and drink for skaters and visitors to enjoy after a session on the rink.

Richard Hammill, CEO of Magna, said: “We’re really excited to be bringing something completely new to Magna this Christmas.

“A skating rink feels like it was made for the unique industrial setting of Magna, giving visitors the chance to skate surrounded by the incredible backdrop of the Face of Steel.

“We’ve got lots planned across the festive season, with the rink sitting alongside our Christmas Science shows, crafts and all the other experiences visitors know and love at Magna.

“We wanted to create something a little different this year, and we think this is going to be a really special addition to the Christmas season.

“We can’t wait to welcome people onto the Magna Rink.”

The rink is suitable for people of all ages, with sessions running in 45-minute slots throughout the day.

Tickets are from £6, with sessions bookable via visitmagna.co.uk. For those who don’t have an annual pass, a standard admission ticket is required for entry to the attraction.
