National Ice Centre, Ice sports complex in Nottingham, United Kingdom
The National Ice Centre is an ice sports facility in Nottingham with two Olympic-sized rinks. The main arena holds about 7,500 spectators and is used for ice sports events and public skating sessions.
The facility opened in 2000 with funding from the National Lottery. It replaced an earlier ice rink from 1939 and has since become the region's main ice sports hub.
The centre is a gathering place for ice sports enthusiasts and families learning to skate. Visitors see people of all ages on the ice and experience the active energy during public skating sessions.
The centre is located near Lace Market and is easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should plan ahead as public skating times are scheduled at specific hours.
During construction in 1999, workers discovered a Saxon jug over 1,000 years old. This find is now displayed in Nottingham Castle Museum and tells of the site's ancient past.
