Ice Skating in Watford

The annual ice skating rink has opened for the winter till mid January, below are some photographs that I took on the day.

This year the cold weather arrived just in time for the Big Skate with the Birmingham Ice Freestylers performing on the ice.

The rink looks much bigger this year and is open till 15th January 2017.

Mixing fire and ice the freestyle performers wowed the crowds.

Around the rink are various fairground rides for kids to have a good time.

For more of my photos you can find them on the various links below plus for the next 12 months I have prints on high quality paper plus on stunning aluminium. They make ideal gifts with 50% of the cost going to the Peace Hospice care in Watford.
