You provide the space. We do the rest
You provide the site (a car park, empty unit, atrium, rooftop or outdoor space) plus power and water.
We provide everything else: the rink, chillers, barriers, skates and skating aids, resurfacing, lighting and sound, theming, staff and coaches, ticketing, marketing, food and drink, insurance and the derig.
