Jersey's ice rink is returning for a four month stint at the Weighbridge.

For the first time it will be open for the October half-term holidays and will welcome skaters from the 26th of this month. 

The 30m x 30m rink will open daily until 23 February 2025, excluding public holidays.

Last year Jersey Development Company's pop-up attracted 45,000 visits over the skating season, despite having to close due for a week after suffering storm damage.

Lee Henry, CEO of Jersey Development Company (JDC), says this year's ice rink experience will be even better than previous years: 

"This year, we’ve decided to open earlier to coincide with the October half-term holidays, which will offer an additional indoor amenity for local children and families during the October half-term holidays.

“Whilst last year we operated within a tight timeframe, this year we've made improvements, including a new booking app that enables users to book, view, and modify their skating sessions without needing to visit the rink."

Tickets can be purchased on Jersey Development Company's website. 

One hour sessions are currently listed as £13 for an adult and £9 for a junior. 

'Skate and save bundles' are said to be available to purchase soon. 

We're told skating sessions have been 'set as affordable as possible to encourage widespread community participation'. 

Fifty pence from every ticket sale will be donated to local children's charities.
