Planet Ice

You may know this venue best as Altrincham Ice Dome but it’s now run by Planet Ice and offers relaxed skating sessions as well as ice skating and ice hockey classes for children and adults. So if you’ve ever felt inspired by Dancing On Ice, now’s the time to don your skates and bust out a double salchow. Perhaps.

And if the razzle dazzle of sequins and figure skating appeals to you, the pantomimes-on-ice at Altrincham will certainly impress. 2026’s offering sees  Jack and the Beanstalk take to the ice for a skating twist on the festive favourite. It’s almost guaranteed that the unfortunate actors in the cow costume will fall over at least once.

With children’s lessons in all aspects of skating, it’s no surprise that Planet Ice is also a perennial favourite for children’s parties.
