Skate Manchester
A covered outdoor ice rink in Cathedral Gardens, alongside the city centre Christmas markets. Because it is under cover it runs whatever the weather, and sessions are a manageable 45 minutes for younger skaters. Tickets must be booked in advance, and the date and time can be changed up to 24 hours beforehand.
