Safari Skating allows you to try out your skating skills on a Glice rink. This eco-friendly ice rink alternative is suitable for all the family and doesn’t require any water or energy, meaning it’s more sustainable (and not a soggy bottom in sight!). Traditional ice skates are worn on the rink (included in the price) and skate aids can be hired for smaller skaters. As this is an outdoor event, we recommend wrapping up warm and wearing thick socks that cover your ankles. www.wmsp.co.uk 26 November The Chocolate Shed – Create your own Chocolate Advent Calendar What better way to kick start your festive season than creating your very own, bespoke, delicious chocolate Advent calendar!

At the end of the workshop, each guest will take away the chocolate Advent calendar of their dreams, crafted by themselves. There will be plenty of Christmass-y chocolate cheer along the way (and nibbling).
