FIGURES of eight and pirouettes will be the order of the day for the next four weeks when a retail park opens its synthetic ice rink.
Dalton Park, at Murton, in east Durham, has installed a 4,326sq foot ice pad.
The move follows a recent survey by the Easington Youth Forum which revealed skating to be among the popular choices for recreation in the area.
The surface was installed in Durham City last month, where it proved a hit among young people and adults.
For those with disabilities, there are three chairs that have been designed to enable them to join in the fun.
The rink will be open every day from 10am to 7.30pm. There will be a charge of £5 for adults and £4 for children, £10 for a family three and £14 for a family of four.
