Dundalk on Ice returns to town ...

DUNDALK on Ice returns on Saturday 11th of November 2017 and will run right through to January 7th and is better than ever. The town centre ice rink has become a family favourite over the last 4 years and is the perfect festive activity where locals and visitors alike can skate under a fully covered marquee, while enjoying a wide variety of food and attractions in and around the Market Square in one exciting location.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for €8 in Dundalk BIDS & Tourist Office at Market Square until November 10th.

Dundalk on Ice welcomes all ages and ability of skaters, whether you’re a pro or a first timer, you will be sure to enjoy the experience. The 300sqm of real ice can hold up to 100 skaters. Sessions last for 45 minutes and we advise that skaters arrive 15 to 20 minutes before their session to get their skates on.

You don’t need to be worried if you haven’t skated before, the Dundalk on Ice experienced team of Ice Marshals will only be too pleased to offer assis- tance and advice on how to enjoy your skating.

Martin Mc Elligott, from Dundalk BIDS said “The continued success of Dundalk on Ice year on year has exceeded expectations. Feedback last year from our local business is that people are staying in town after their skating session, coffee shops, restaurants and retailers all see the added value of this. . We averaged that for each visitor to the ice rink a minimum of €10 is spent locally”

Martin continued “Dundalk BIDs is delighted to have played a major role in bringing the ice rink back to the town centre. The main sponsors this year are Louth County Council and Recruitment Plus, their continued support ensures that we can continue to create a seasonal social calendar that can compete with the best like Dundrum and Blanchardstown”

Zuzana Foley from Recruitment Plus Dundalk said “Having recently celebrated 17 years on Clanbrassil Street we are delighted to participate in the sponsorship for the local Ice Skating rink which each year, relies on local businesses for support”

“Every year the ice skating rink brings a true sense of festivity and Christmas spirit to the town. We are very grateful to the many inspiring, innovative local businesses that have supported us over the past 17 years”

Dundalk on Ice organisers who operate the rink remain committed to supporting the local economy and as far as possible will again create much needed seasonal employment locally via the rink’s operations.
