A plan for the day
- Morning: a Parent and Little Skater session on weekdays, or a Relaxed Skate on Sunday at 10am. Penguin skate aids for wobbly starters.
- Lunch: street food and a hot chocolate the size of your head.
- Afternoon: the one-hour circus in a heated big top, then a go on the fair.
Good to know for families
- Skating from age 3. Under 13s skate with an adult.
- The circus is one hour with no interval, made for all ages, with no animals.
- Getting here: Beckenham Hill station is under five minutes' walk. The park car park is small, so public transport is easiest.
