Take to the ice! Ice skating at Braehead Ice Centre
Braehead Ice Centre has been the hub of public ice skating and ice sports within Greater Glasgow for many years and will continue to do so. The Braehead Ice Centre hosts many ice skaters, who enjoy skating recreationally or somewhere for figure skaters to train for competition.
It’s a popular place to go for kids and adults who simply want to get their skates and meet up with friends, making it a social place to meet for them. With tens of thousands visiting the ice centre every month and partaking in its facilities and what it has to offer, it will continue to be a venue where many can enjoy their favourite pastime.
