Open all Year !                                                         Get Your Skates On !                                                       Great Fun For the Whole Family !

 

Due to Ice Hockey Matches on Saturday 18th and 25th February 2012 the Saturday Evening Disco Session will run from Approximately 8.15pm until 10.30 pm on these evenings.

Saturday 4th February and Sunday 26th February 2012 are the scheduled dates for the six nations matches to be played in the Murrayfield Stadium.  All our skating sessions will run as normal on these days but due to the matches, car access to the front of the rink will be restricted.

There will be no parking at the rink all day on the 4th February through all the sessions and restrictions will be in force for the  2.30 – 4.30 session on the 26th February.

This situation is out of our control but we would advise customers that normally some limited on street parking is found usually in the Saughton Grove/ Crescent/Loan area which is only a five minute walk away.

The police/stewards may also permit customers to drop off and pick up in Riversdale Crescent subject to the volume of pedestrian movement during any restricted period and some access/egress may be permitted at the discretion of stewards.

Public transport would be another good option on these days with LRT services 12,26 and 31 all servicing the rink.

 

We have decided to hold current skating prices and not apply the January 2011 VAT increase. This is the second VAT increase that has been absorbed during our current pricing structure and we will endeavour to hold these prices as long as possible.
 
Please consult our Skating Guide before getting to Murrayfield to make sure you are properly prepared for the fun on the ice!

Types of Sessions on Offer at Murrayfield

Leisure Skating Sessions: (Monday, Wednesday & Friday)

Enjoy some light exercise after school or work at these sessions which tend to be quiet and are well suited to novice and beginner skaters of all ages.  Coaches often teach at these sessions and may section off a small part of the ice for group lessons. 
Under fives are admitted for £3.00 including skate hire at these sessions.
 


 UK Learn to skate: (Sunday)
This certificated programme offers 45 minutes compulsory group tuition from resident coaches to beginner and novice skaters of all ages.  This session is an ideal introduction to ice skating and helps build confidence to attend other sessions.

 

General Skating: (Every day)
Afternoon sessions usually attract the occasional skater, family outings and small groups. With the exception of school holidays and weekends these sessions are fairly quiet. The evening sessions generally attract the more experienced skater and are not recommended for beginner and novice skaters.


 Family Skating: (Thursday & Saturday)
Skating sessions with a family type atmosphere.  Competitively priced, these sessions are normally fairly quiet. 

Please note: that ice hockey skates are not allowed at the Thursday night session.
 Under fives are admitted for £3.00 including skate hire on Saturday mornings.
 

Disco Sessions: (Friday & Saturday)
General skating sessions in reduced lighting with Disco lights and music from our resident DJ playing current chart sounds, but able to cater for musical tastes covering the last 25 years.  These sessions are extremely popular with teenagers and students. The Saturday session is the quieter of the two evenings.  Strobe lighting is used after 9.30pm. The session begins approximately 45 minutes later but runs through until 10.30pm when the Edinburgh Capitals play on a Saturday night.

Please Note that skating and alcohol/drugs do not mix.  Any customer considered to be under the influence of either will be refused admission or asked to leave the premises.
