Hey Everyone!
Eeeeeeep, the Christmas countdown is officially ON and i have been to my first Christmas event of the year! You have no idea how much this excites me.. being the huge Christmas fan i am i was so excited to be invited along to the launch night of the Intu Lakeside Christmas Village. The Christmas village is complete with a very large ice rink, cocktail crystal bar, a grotto to meet Father Christmas, Christmas market and festive treats - making it the perfect destination for all the family this Christmas!
As soon as we entered, we headed straight for the Crystal bar for a little dutch courage before the ice skating began! They had a huge selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages including mulled wine, hot chocolates with whipped cream and delicious Bellini cocktails - i personally can't say no to a glass of fizz so opted for the Berry & Winter Spice Bellini which was so delicious! The prices vary but the cocktails started from £6.00.
The undercover ice rink is located near House of Fraser and is a whopping 600msq and fully sheltered from the rain! The ice rink is now open and will be running until the 1st of January. The prices vary but for an adult it costs £9.75 and for under 16's £7.75, you can book online through their website and they are running special events throughout the season.. they even have a silent disco! The atmosphere on the rink is brilliant complete with a ring side DJ! From the ice rink staff to the bar staff, everyone was incredibly helpful and lovely - massive shout out to a member of the Ambulance crew who helped me get my skates on!
Just remember to wrap up warm and bring your gloves!
