The event will take place at the ice rink at Victoria Park in Southport, on Friday, 23rd December 2022.

A spokesperson said: “Our closing party at Ice Skating Southport is on Friday 23rd December, its free entry and entertainment in our bar starts at 6pm – the ice rink is open from 10am.
“We have The Bavarian Stompers oompah band on, who performed for us at Oktoberfest a few months back and boy did they entertain!
“The Hofmeister steins will be flowing as well as the foot long bratwursts. We have seating for 200 in our heated marquee, if you want us to reserve you a table let us know at the earliest to avoid disappointment.”
Ice Skating Southport has entertained hundreds of families since it opened on 3rd December.
It has been created by North West Marquee Hire and Southport TV, the team which organised the successful recent Oktoberfest at Victoria Park in October.
The venue is situated next to the Southport Eco Centre entrance to Victoria Park.
