Supporting hidden disabilities
Ice Skate Leicester supports visitors with hidden disabilities and recognises the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. Wearing the Sunflower is voluntary and discreetly indicates that someone may need extra time, understanding or assistance.
If you need help during your visit, please speak to a member of our team.
Dementia friendly
Our Relaxed Skate sessions offer a calmer, more comfortable experience for people living with dementia, their families and carers.
Static lighting, no or low sound, reduced on-ice capacity and staff on hand to assist help make each visit more welcoming. The event site is level and accessible throughout.
