About Us
Welcome to the UoB Ice Skating Society!
Recently established in 2025, skaters of all levels are encouraged to join and create a community on ice. Find us every week at Planet Ice Bristol on Wednesdays to improve your skating skills with other students.
What the society offers:
- Weekly training at Planet Ice Bristol
- Weekly off-ice training at Richmond Building dance studio
- Weekly socials and events
- Guidance for figure skating and ice hockey
- Support finding relevant skating opportunities and further support regarding one's speciality
- Trips to attend figure skating shows or hockey matches
Within our society, we focus on ice skating; however, we understand that some people may be fully committed to skating, some skate for fun, and others may face different barriers. Overall, there are no expectations, but to improve in this sport, we encourage consistency, even if that is a little every week!
We aim to make skating accessible to everyone through weekly sessions, coaching, and off-ice training held on campus.
Equality Statement: University of Bristol Ice Skating Society is committed to treating everyone equally irrespective of their age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
Membership Details
Members get free or discounted entry to all events for just £20. We run two discounted monthly skating sessions at £7 (skates not included; bring your own if needed) on the first and third Wednesday of each month, and will also hold other events such as off-ice sessions, socials, and end-of-term events.

Skating sessions happen on Wednesday afternoons, and the society will meet at Planet Ice Bristol in Cribbs Causeway from 1-3:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to come earlier, as the ice rink session starts at 10:30 am. Skill level doesn't matter! Make sure to book online for a student discount!

Off-Ice training will be provided at no extra cost to members! Training will be held on Thursday 12-1 pm at Richmond Building dance studio.
Socials!
Socials will be posted on Instagram and sent on our WhatsApp group.
We run weekly socials on Wednesday evening. Other events to look forward to are the Friday disco skates, winter formal, non-alcoholic socials and end-of-term activities.
Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.
