What time is the Ice Rink open?
The Ice Rink is open daily times for 2011 are to be confirmed.

Can I just turn up on the day?
There will be a limited number of tickets available for those that turn up on the day but to avoid disappointment we strongly recommend pre booking either On Line or by calling 01903 222934.

What should I do when I arrive?
If your tickets have not been posted to you, collect them from the on-site box office.  You can then proceed directly to the skate counter. Skate hire is included in your ticket price. Please arrive at the Ice Rink at least 30 minutes before your skating session begins so that you have time to get your skates and still enjoy a full time on the ice.

What ages are eligible for the child price?
The child price applies to ages 16 and under.  Children aged 8 and under must have a skating adult with them on the ice.

What age do children have to be to skate?
The smallest skate size is a child size 8 and as long as Children are steady on their feet and fit the skates they will be able to skate but must have an adult present at all times.

What happens if it is raining?
It is common practice for temporary Ice Rinks not to be covered.  Skating can go ahead in most weather conditions but the Rink Manager will suspend skating if it is not safe.  If the rink is closed then skaters will be able to arrange another suitable session with the on site team.  If another session cannot be offered then claims for a refund should be directed to the Worthing Town Centre Initiative on 01903 203252.  Please note if it is safe to skate and individuals choose not to then another session will not be offered.   If skaters wish to confirm whether a session is going ahead before leaving home the website www.worthingicerink.co.uk will advise of any closures or call 01903 203252.

Can I Park near to the Ice Rink?
There is on street parking around Steyne Gardens – the 3 bays to the North of the gardens have been suspended to allow vehicles needed for the Ice Rink to be accommodated so these are not available to the public.  If there is no parking available around the gardens then the High Street Multi-storey Car Park is less than 5 minutes walk away.

Will I be able to get refreshments?
Worthing has a fantastic restaurant offer within easy walking distance of Steyne Gardens .

What Skate sizes will be available?
Skates are included in the session price and child shoe size 8 to adult 13 can be accommodated.

Will there by any skating lessons available?
At the start of every session there will be a safety briefing which will include some basic skating tips.  There are also skate marshals on the ice who will be able to offer assistance but there are no formal skating lessons available.

Is it possible to take a Wheelchair onto the Ice?
It is possible to take a wheelchair onto the ice with a skating carer at the less busy sessions.  The Worthing Town Centre Initiative on 01903 203252 will try to accommodate Wheelchair users but the safety of the wheelchair user and other skaters is paramount. Requests for Wheelchair access can only be arranged at sessions where skating numbers deem it to be safe.

Is there a cloakroom?
No. Bags and bulky items are not allowed on the ice so we advise you not to bring valuable items with you, and to go shopping after you have skated.  Items can be left with your shoes behind the skate counter but please note that these are left at the owner’s risk.

Can I bring my friends to watch?
Spectating is free and spectators are welcomed at the Ice Rink. They can either watch from the viewing platform or from the Gardens.

I have my own skates can I wear them at the rink?
Yes you can. Your admission price does include skate hire but if you own your own skates and they are in good condition, please feel free to use them although the ticket price will remain the same.
