JDC’s Jersey on Ice FAQs
Where can I purchase a ticket?
Tickets and gift vouchers can be purchased by downloading the ‘Jersey on Ice’ App, booking through the JDC website or in person at the rink.
The app is your hub for all things skating! Book, view and change your skating sessions with ease and keep up to date with all of the latest events.
By booking through the website using the 'Book Now' button, you can create an account to manage and modify your bookings online. Alternatively, you can check out as a guest, but any changes to your booking will need to be made in person at the rink if you don't have an account.
Tickets can be bought on the day at the rink, subject to availability, however, we recommend purchasing tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
The website and app will also provide updates to ensure the Ice Rink is open.
All tickets are non-refundable.
Will I get sent a hard copy of my ticket?
We do not provide or send out hard copies of your ticket. Your booking confirmation will have all of your ticket information on your e-ticket, this is all that you will require to gain entry to the event.
Please ensure that you have your ticket ready when you arrive at the rink – tickets purchased on the website are sent by email and scrolling to locate an email causes delays at the skate exchange!
What does the time on my ticket signify?
The time on your ticket is the time that your skate session commences. To ensure you enjoy your full hour of skating, please arrive 20 minutes prior to the session time.
What if I’ve made a mistake whilst booking my ticket?
If you have booked via our website as a guest and not set up an account, please visit the ticket desk in person at the Weighbridge. We regret no refunds are available.
If you have booked using our app or set up an account via the online booking page you can manage your own session time changes. We regret no refunds are available.
Can I buy tickets on the day?
Yes, you can buy tickets on the day either online, on the app or at the rink, subject to availability.
What if I have booked and arrive late?
Please arrive on time to ensure you have the full session time. Skaters may be allowed on part way through, but the session finishes at the same time for everyone and you will therefore not be able to extend your time on the ice – it is important to arrive early!
Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers for the ice rink may be purchased either via the Jersey on Ice app, the online booking system or directly at the rink.
Gift vouchers are valid until 23 February 2025, can only be used towards a skate or curling session and cannot be exchanged for cash.
How long are the ice skating sessions?
Sessions are one hour long. We advise arriving 20 minutes in advance to ensure you have enough time to prepare for your session. The session ends at the same time for everyone so don’t be late otherwise you’ll have less time to enjoy being on the ice!
Are there age restrictions?
Children under the age of 3 are not permitted on the ice. Children aged between 3 – 10 yrs must be accompanied by an adult on the ice. A maximum of 4 children under 10 yrs to one adult skating and supervising is permitted. Children aged 10-13 yrs may skate without a guardian on the Ice Rink but must be supervised from the viewing area. Children must not be carried on the ice.
Is there a viewing area for non skaters?
Yes, but please note this is not heated, so you’ll need to wrap up warm. You can enter the site and watch your friends or family skate without needing a ticket. You’ll only need a ticket if you’re going on the ice.
Do you have any skate aids for children?
We stock a limited number of skate aids that can be used by children aged 3-10yrs only to skate with, to aid balance whilst on the ice. Numbers for each session are restricted and allocated on a first-come first-served basis.
Please note that skate aids are only available for children up to 10yrs. They cannot be pre-booked or used by older skaters.
Do I need to rent skates?
Skate rental is included in the price of an ice-skating ticket. You will exchange your own shoes as a deposit for a pair of skates for the duration of your session. Please wear thick socks and ensure your skates fit correctly before taking to the ice.
Please note, we are not liable for any loss, damage, replacement or theft of shoes left in exchange for skates.
What size skates are available?
We carry a wide range of sizes. Our friendly skate staff will happily exchange your skates at any time, to ensure that you have a pair of skates that you are comfortable with. We strongly recommend that all skaters wear thick socks.
For very small children we also carry some over shoe bob skates with two blades per skate for more stability. If for any reason the size of skate you require is not available, we reserve the right to ask if you can wait for the next session.
Can I bring my own skates?
You are welcome to bring your own skates, however there is no reduction in ticket price if you choose to do so. Please note we are not responsible for your skates, shoes or property.
Can wheelchair users go on the ice?
Yes, we welcome manual wheelchairs on the ice. You must have someone on the ice with you at all times. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate powered wheelchairs on the ice. For any other accessibility/disability requirements please get in touch.
A maximum of 3 wheelchair users can be accommodated on the ice at any one time, but please get in touch before booking if your group will have more than 3 wheelchair users, so we can make necessary arrangements.
How busy will it be on the ice?
During school holidays, we expect the Ice Rink to be very busy. If you’re nervous about skating or would just prefer a quieter ice rink, we recommend coming during a weekday in the daytime or in the earlier sessions on weekends.
Do you provide helmets?
We don’t provide helmets or other safety equipment, including kneepads and elbow pads but you are welcome to bring your own.

What about the weather?
The Ice Rink is located indoors and therefore operates in all weather conditions, other than strong winds. In the unlikely event that the ice rink must close, alternative sessions will be offered. Please monitor our website and app for any rink closures.
What about unseasonal and extreme weather?
We will monitor weather conditions and if we decide for safety reasons to close the ice rink, this will be announced on our website, the Jersey on Ice app and on social media channels.
What should I wear?
Although covered, the ice rink needs to be maintained at -5 degrees, so the area is not heated. Please ensure that you dress appropriately. It is highly recommended that all skaters wear suitable thick socks and gloves. Several thin layers that can be removed are better than one thick layer. A thermal base layer is recommended.
Are there locker facilities?
We provide a small unlocked shelf to store your shoes and a very small bag only. We recommend you only bring essentials with you; bags are not permitted on the ice. JDC does not accept responsibility for the loss or damage from any cause whatsoever to property or articles left.
Can I bring a school group?
School groups are welcome, please contact us via enquiries@jerseydevelopment.je for more details.
Exclusive Hire/Private Parties
Yes, the ice rink can be hired for exclusive use from Monday – Wednesday. Please contact us via enquiries@jerseydevelopment.je to arrange this.
What is the quality of the ice?
The rink is a temporary ice rink and as such is not intended for professional use. The ice is checked before each session and is resurfaced if necessary. Please remember that ice, by its very nature is a slippery surface, and that accidents and injuries may occur from being upon the ice.
What happens if I have an accident on the ice?
Like all sports, ice skating carries a degree of risk. Skating is something that you freely engage in and undertake entirely at your own risk. The skater acknowledges that ice is a very slippery surface and, depending upon individual skill and experience level, ice skating may involve falls upon the ice, collisions with other skaters, objects, or structures and therefore is considered a hazardous activity, which the skater has elected to voluntarily participate, with full knowledge, acceptance, and assumption of any and all risks of serious personal injury, death or property damage.
Management will not be responsible for any injury or accidents however incurred by the skater. All slips, trips and falls, and resulting injuries whilst skating, or being upon the ice will be at the risk and responsibility of the individual skater.
Our staff will assess the situation and if required, summon a first aider to the ice. We have an onsite first aid area, but for more serious incidents an ambulance will be called. An accident report will also be completed by the supervisor.
ALL SKATERS ASSUME ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH SKATING OR BEING UPON THE ICE SURFACE AND CONSENT TO ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ICE SKATING AND UNDERSTAND THAT THEY SKATE ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK, FOREVER RELINQUISHING THE EVENT ORGANISER OF ALL LIABILITY.
Is there a risk assessment available for skating?
Schools and other organised group visits should conduct their own risk assessment. All skaters are assumed to understand the risks associated with the sport that they participate in voluntarily.
Can I perform tricks on the ice?
Skating at high speed, skating backwards, tricks and acrobatics are not permitted. Chains of 3 people or more are not permitted, and neither is weaving or rough/boisterous play. The ice rink is not for professional use.
Can I use my mobile phone on the ice?
The use of mobile phones (apart from taking photos) is not permitted on the ice. This is for your own safety and the safety of others.
Adverse Weather Plan
Jersey on Ice is an indoor winter event. We will therefore be open and operational throughout all usual winter weather conditions, which will include inclement weather. We remind all guests to dress appropriately.
The health and safety of our visitors and staff remains at all times our paramount consideration. Throughout every day of the event, weather conditions will be monitored by the team.
In the unlikely event that weather conditions on site pose a risk to the health and safety of our visitors or staff, we will make the decision to cancel the event. Any decision to cancel would be made as early as possible.
Any decision to cancel any day will be made by JDC and any such decision will be final.
What happens if my day is cancelled?
In the event that a skate or curling session is cancelled due to adverse weather or for any other reason, those who booked through the app will receive a notification—unless they opted to turn off notifications. Those who booked via their online account will be notified by the registered email address. If you checked out online as a guest or purchased tickets directly from the rink, you will NOT receive a notification. In this case, please follow us on social media for updates.
We advise customers to check for the latest social media updates before travelling, particularly in very windy weather.
Customers will be able to re-book tickets up to the equivalent financial value, for any future timeslots subject to availability.
