Why Synthetic Ice Rinks Are the Best Choice
We’re often asked about the key differences between synthetic ice rinks and real ice rinks. We’re always happy to advise why synthetic ice rinks are perfect for every event, easier to manage and are incredibly similar to real ice surfaces. Most skaters are surprised by the natural glide feel of a synthetic surface, making it suitable for both complete beginners and confident skaters.
Because the synthetic surface isn’t real ice, there’s no need for expensive generators or chilling units because the rink doesn’t need to be kept frozen. This keeps the fuel bill right down, eliminating this potential cost!
When we install the rink, there’s little likelihood of damage to the surface of your venue because of the lighter surface weight. It is much easier and quicker to install than real ice, as there’s no difficulty to get everything set up because of risk of melting.
Synthetic ice rinks can be installed indoors or outdoors, whatever the season. This guarantees skating for participants, meaning zero risk of disappointment! Synthetic rinks are also safer for younger and novice skaters – maximising accessibility to having fun and making memories.
Synthetic ice rinks are also more environmentally friendly to run. Compared to real ice rinks, there’s no need for refrigeration which means less power is generated, there’s no extreme water consumption and no excessive energy waste. This presents itself as a perfect solution for organisations that have commitments to eco-friendly approaches and sustainability targets.
For longer term hire, synthetic ice rinks allow you to open for longer, maximising the opportunity for all participants to have fun and a more individual experience, with no need to rush them. This is because no equipment is needed for resurfacing, allowing you to just turn up and start skating!
What’s Included in Synthetic Ice Rink Hire
Our hire services extend beyond just the rink. We’re able to provide you with a full package that keeps the whole event in mind to ensure a smooth experience. If you’re unsure what rink size you need, we’ll recommend one based on your expected number of skaters.
Our synthetic ice-skating rinks are accompanied by a large selection of various sized ice skates, ranging from Children Size 7 to Adult Size 13. This allows participants to quickly grab their skates and hop onto the rink, without you worrying about needing skates to be supplied.
We supply a skate distribution area including rubber matting and bench seats, so skaters will have a spot to both get ready and disembark. We know kit has to stay in tip-top condition, which is why we supply a skate grinder to make sure participants are always gliding across the surface with ease.
We want synthetic ice-skating to be inclusive for all ages and all abilities. Keeping this in mind, we supply children’s bear themed skate aids so that smaller skaters have just as much fun.
Extending possibilities of even more fun, we’re able to supply a basic music and lights package to create an immersive atmosphere for your synthetic ice rink, maximising the potential for entertainment.
Our service focuses on making things as easy for you as possible, which is why we deliver, install and derig the synthetic ice rink ourselves, giving you plenty of time to lace up your skates ready for when everything is set up.
Staying Safe in Ice Magic Synthetic Rinks
Fun and safety are equally important to us when it comes to event installation. We take necessary steps to make sure our synthetic ice rinks are as safe as possible for everyone involved.
We supply an interlocking barrier system to not only keep skaters safe inside of the rink, but to also create a divide for onlookers to safely observe. If you want your branding on our interlocking barrier system, then let us know – it's a great additional option for promotional events or releases!
We offer several staffing options depending on how hands-on you want to be. Our synthetic ice rink hire packages come with the option for a fully staffed rink. This allows our friendly, experienced staff to run the event for you, keeping everyone safe and making sure they have a great time. With our staffed options, this also includes Public Liability Insurance up to £10 million. You’re free to staff the rink yourself if you wish, but you’ll have to supply your own insurance cover.
Alternatively, we can supply a team leader to work along your staff, which would include our Public Liability cover. All our staff are fully trained and DBS checked, able to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all wannabe skaters, keeping participants protected at all times.
That’s not the limit of our safety measures, as we also supply you with a full safety pack that includes rink safety signage, to display necessary warnings and always keep guests as safe as possible.
