    I was excited when I heard about Roller City and couldn't wait to go. Unfortunately when I did I…read morewas very disappointed. The rink itself is small, has pillars in the middle and the floor is bumpy throughout. This makes it dangerous for learner skaters who are going slow as they suddenly find themselves going uphill and inevitably fall over. The skates available for hire are uncomfortable, cheap and nasty. They could have spent a little more on the skates and had much better quality. The drinks are expensive and the range of drinks at the bar is very limited. This could have been an excellent place but instead is a big let down and a waste of time and money.

    Now something I never imagined to see within the city centre of Liverpool was a roller disco, but…read morehaving discovered Roller City on Mount Pleasant my love for Merseyside grew tenfold. I love the sheer retro beauty of a place like this, an establishment which has no right to be around in the modern age but survives on pure nostalgia. To be honest this place is not great it is nothing more than a laugh as a whole and something you have to take with a pinch of salt. If you remember not to expect to much then you will probably have a good time. So on the whole a nostalgic piece of fun, but it gets a bit tiresome after a while as you would expect with such a repetitive activity. There's a reason that places like this died out but it is nice to see that somewhere is still giving it a go.

    Spinningfields Ice Rink is a great way to kill a few hours with friends in Manchester on a cold…read moreafternoon. It's true, it's pretty pricey at £7.50 per adult for 55 minutes, especially since the price actually GOES UP on the 14th of December...! But that does include skate hire and it's not something you do everyday! It's in a great location in the heart of Spinningfields, surrounded by restaurants and bars including the special North Pole bar which is just for the Christmas season and well worth checking out. So you can actually make an evening of it. I'd definitely suggest booking tickets in advance over the phone, the number is above, it saves you the times queuing up once you get there!

    The Spinningfields Ice rink is back! Okay, so maybe I work very closely to it, but I genuinely…read morethink it's a lovely addition to the winter period in Manchester. Situated on Hardman Square, the temporary rink is in the city between November and January, soon to be surrounded by the Spinningfields Christmas markets. Although I do, on occasion, enjoy the Albert Square markets, I prefer a wander around this area purely because things like the ice rink help to break up the space and reduce the feelings of claustrophobia one can have in other markets in the city. Also, this ice rink is placed between two bars, so you can have a skate and then retire to somewhere warm with a mulled wine or whisky. Or you could just do this first, obviously.

    Spinningfields Ice Rink - Ok so the ice was melted when I went down so it does look more like a swimming pool...but you get the idea!
