Get your skates on! (Evening Times)
GEORGE Square's festive ice rink is promising to be bigger and better than it's ever been before. And toddlers will be able to join their parents on the ice for the first time - thanks to cute penguins. In the past, children under the age of four were not allowed on the rink. But when the attraction opens this year they can take advantage of special ice shoes and stabiliser Bobo the Penguin, who can be pushed round the ice by an adult. The parent and toddler sessions will run at 1pm on Wednesdays, with the child skating for free. The rink - dubbed Glasgow on Ice - is the highlight of Winterfest, the city council's programme of events to attract visitors and shoppers to the city centre. Experts are busy creating tons of ice for the attraction which will be set up around the Scott Monument in the middle of George Square and will open on Saturday. It will sit under the spectacular Christmas lights, which were turned on by Joseph star Craig Chalmers last Sunday. James H |
