From another group.
Very sad to see. Providing extra youth workers to help our children attend mainstream sessions might look good on paper but is not suitable for many of them for many reasons.
If you are in Oldham and can attend please make your voice heard.

⛸️ SEND Ice Skating Session – Quiet, Calm & Fun ☺️ Rochdale Ice Rink

Rochdale Ice Rink are hosting a magical session for children and families who would prefer a quieter, more spacious experience on the ice. This session is designed to feel calm, relaxed, and supportive - perfect for children who may find busy public sessions overwhelming.

🕙 Saturday 29th November
⏰ 10am – 11am (45 minutes on the ice)
📍 Rochdale Ice Rink
✅ Limited places available / 4 years +

This Day is different from their standard sessions - they reduce capacity, lower the noise, and create a comfortable environment for children to enjoy skating at their own pace.

If this sounds perfect for your family, you can book your space here:

We can’t wait to welcome you onto the ice for a gentle, magical festive experience 💙
