ICE skating will be back in Evesham this week following its successful introduction last year.

Market Square will be transformed into a winter wonderland once more when a rink is set up from 12 noon on Friday.

Evesham Town Council has organised the three day event after last December saw thousands of people flock to the town centre to strap on their boots and have a go.

It will be open from 12 noon until 9pm on Friday, from 10am to 9pm on Saturday and from 10am until 5pm on Sunday.

Town councillor Martin Hammon has helped to organise the event.

He said: “Last years was a great success with nearly a thousand people coming onto the rink and we hope that there will be at least as many people this year.“ The cost of an ice skate is £3 per half hour, including skate hire.
