Simply Skate Arena

My eldest daughter (9) attended a childrens birthday party this past weekend, i didnt even know this place existed! I was a little worried about getting lost as it is on an industrial estate, although i found it pretty easy as you just have to turn off the A630. I found it a little difficult to park as there was a hockey thing going off on the other rink, but i managed it in the end. I was amazed that this place was here, i was speeking to the girl on reception as i arrived (i got there a little before everyone else) and apparently its been here like 10years! The birthday party was lovely, the girl that organised it all made everyone feel really welcome, not just the birthday childs parents like some other places i have been to, and the kids loved it!
After about 15mins my youngest (7) decided she wanted a go, so i went and paid for her to have a go, it cost me less than a fiver and she couldav stayed for the rest of the session if she wanted to which i thought was pretty reasonable… we discovered she isnt the most gracefull of people haha! but she just kept brushing herself off and having another go. I even managed to have a gander at the hockey on the other rink.
When the party went upstairs i took my youngest into the café to get something to eat, and to my suprise the menu was pretty varied. You have you bog standard café food, your sandwiches, burgers, chips that kind of this, but they also did jacket potatoes and i opted for a lasagne and wasnt dissapointed.
On my way out i picked up a few leaflets and saw that they run skating sessions from £1 per person… will deffinatly be going back!
