Free ice skating sessions are being offered by the Link Centre to let children try out the activity.

The event, in association with webuyanycar.com and British Ice Skating, has the aim of inspiring the next generation of British ice skating talent.

This is the second year the two organisations have teamed up for the event.

150 places are available and the sessions will run in the evenings at the Link Centre from Tuesday December 2 to Friday December 5.

The sessions are open to children aged between eight and 15. Parents and guardians are welcome to join their children on the ice with free ice skates being available.

Michelle Draper, CEO of British Skating, said: "Ice skating is a great activity for all the family to enjoy and be active together.

"We're on a mission to engage more people in the sport and hope that these events will help to speak a new found love for ice skating in those that are new to the sport."

"We're excited to be working with webuyanycar.com for the second time to support this series of events and to encourage people to try the sport.

"Britain has produced a number of exceptional skaters over the years and we're always keen for new skaters to have a go, you never know when the next Torvill and Dean are going to come along."
