It's sometimes nice to give the kids a great day, without asking for lots of money! I'm sure some of them won't get the opportunity to skate again.

'I cannot let it pass without writing to extend my sincere thanks to Ice Magic for providing me with the fabulous ice skating rink at Stockport Town Hall Centenary Event on Sunday 13 July.
Firstly, I must say how impressed I have been with dealing with Ice Magic. Your company caters to every need, making my life as an Event Manager so much easier. You were always available to answer any technical questions in advance and offer practical solutions around any logistics issues. The structure and the rink and the accompanying skate hut, looked magnificent once assembled and upon first glance looked every part of a solid ice rink.
During the event, I was regrettably too busy to enjoy a skate but I was extremely pleased how immensely popular the rink went down with the crowds, despite it being a hot summers day and not a traditional winter setting. I would have no hesitation in recommending or using your company again! Thank you so much for making Stockport Town Hall Centenary birthday bash an unforgettable one.'
