"It will stay on our courtyard until 16 August, so do book places via our website or at our visitor centre.

"On Friday and Saturday evenings, we’ll be turning the rink into a roller disco, so I’m expecting to see plenty of glittery outfits!”

The rink will be open for advanced bookings from 10am – 8pm daily, while two professional skaters are on hand to get the novices moving or to help more experienced skaters improve their skills.

Tickets are £12 for those aged 14, and £9.50 for four to 13-year-olds.
