The rink, the largest outdoor rink in the South West, will be open from 13 November until 4 January 2009, offering hour-long skating sessions each accommodating 300 skaters. This year's rink is 50% bigger than last year and aims to attract even more skaters than before. Last year 30,000 skaters used the rink. A 30ft Christmas tree adorned with 2,000 LED lights, creates a stunning focal point in the centre of the rink.
Ian Tregaskis, live events commercial manager at Stage Electrics comments: "We are delighted to be working with The Mall again on this flagship project. Its Winter Wonderland is a Christmas spectacle that delights all visitors, and this year's larger rink will please all keen ice skaters."
