The visiting artificial ice rink designed to encourage Marlburians to ‘get their skates on’ will move indoors due to weather.

Council is bringing the attraction to Blenheim from this Friday 23 January through to Sunday 25 January.

Arts, Cultural and Heritage Manager Nicola Neilson said given the weather forecast the attraction will now be located at the Marlborough Events Centre between 10am and 5pm on all three days.

The attraction is part of Council’s new Space Create initiative designed to invigorate the Blenheim and Picton town centres.

“Space Create is all about activating underused and vacant spaces with creative and energetic projects. This travelling experience ‘The Ice Skate Tour’ is a great fit with this and we look forward to seeing young and young at heart enjoying it. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the start of the new year, Northern Hemisphere style,” she said.

Each ice skating session is at least 30 minutes and costs just $2 per person. This goes to Blenheim Scouts as a fundraiser. Socks are compulsory and the smallest skates are size 10.
