Sheffield's newest festive attractions, including snow slide, taking shape in city centre ahead of Christmas
Three attractions currently being installed ahead of Christmas
An ice rink and snow slide are being installed in Sheffield this week to bring a bit of Christmas magic to the city centre.
Work is today being carried out to install Sheffield’s first Christmas ice rink for a decade, which is due to open to school parties on Thursday, and then to the wider public on Friday.
And also taking shape, on Surrey Street, is the new Sheffield Christmas Snow Slide, which is set to be ready for youngsters to try out from tomorrow.
And the city is also set to welcome back the huge Ferris Wheel, on The Moor, which workmen have been installing over the last couple of days.
All the attractions opening at the same time as the Christmas Market in the city centre, which will stretch from Fargate to The Moor.
The rink will open with a special session for schools on Friday, November 13 from 10am to 3pm, before opening to the wider public as part of Sheffield’s Christmas celebrations.
From Monday to Friday, free sessions for schools will run between 11am and 1pm, with the rink opening to the public from 1pm until 8pm.
At weekends, it will open to the public from 11am to 8pm on Saturdays and 11am to 6pm on Sundays.
Children aged 12 and under can skate for free, with admission costing £5 for those aged 13 and over.
