Is it possible to book tickets for weekend time slots? Thanks.

Went to this ice skating rink last and it was awful, the rink was stupidly full of water, yes i know Ice melts but this was ridiculous, The ice was completely uneven and it was covered in leaves and mud and it wasn't even cleaned in between sessions. It is a shame as have attended in previous years and it was great

Hi, how much skating time do you get for a ticket? Thanks

Why can I not book a weekend day? It says the offer is valid Nov and Jan but it doesn't say that it's only Mon - Fri.

The offer only seems to apply for Monday-Friday then right?

Can TimeOut people answer CWM question! i tried to buy the ticket and there's no where to put in the code in the ticketmaster web.

NB this is only in November and January. The above is slightly misleading...
