The 60ft x 40ft covered ice rink is sponsored by Market Walk and will offer general skating sessions (including a family ticket), Cub Club – discounted sessions for children age five and under (with a maximum of two adults per family at the discounted rate) plus community and school groups have the opportunity to book group sessions in advance at a reduced price.

The festive tipis will be back offering a range of drinks and when it comes to food there’ll be a new concept introduced for this year.

Sponsored by Chorley Eats, visitors will be able to order their food via the Chorley Eats app from a variety of local takeaways, and get it delivered to their table in the tipis.

Councillor Peter Wilson, Deputy Leader of Chorley Council said: “What could be more festive than taking to the ice at Christmas time, enjoying food and drink in festive tipis and having a great time with friends, family or work colleagues, right here in Chorley.”

To make way for the Winter Wonderland, Cleveland Street car park will be closed until Friday, January 10.
