8 reasons why you should head on down to Winterval On Ice this Christmas

Winterval on Ice returns to Waterford on Friday, November 23rd.

For over six weeks, the Old Gasworks site will play host to joy, laughter and the odd cheeky date.

Catering for all levels of expertise, the rink allows seasoned skaters to show off their best moves while allowing beginners and little ones to find their ice legs with fun penguin aids.

For us, nothing beats the thrill of whizzing about on ice, but if you need any more convincing, here's our top eight reasons to get your skates on!

  1. Ice skating is a healthy activity that burns between 300-650 calories per hour.
  2. It’s a great place to get a festive photo for your Christmas cards - or Instagram if you're an #instafamous wannabe.
  3. It’s a great way to break the ice on a first date. Or equally, it could be the perfect excuse to get your heart racing again *wink wink*.
  4. Is there anything more stressful than the Christmas shop? Thankfully, skating is a proven seasonal stress reliever.
  5. It improves concentration! A great excuse to justify yet another Christmas exam study break!
  6. It’s perfect for team building.
  7. It works wonders on joint flexibility! Focusing on lower-body movement, ice skating offers great exercise for the leg muscles, building and toning them up over time.
  8. Endorphins, endorphins, endorphins. We’ll say no more.
