2012-11-28

BRIGHTON, ENGLAND, November 28, 2012 (Press-News.org) Westfield London Shopping and Westfield Stratford City have launched their iconic ice rinks this week.

Jayne Torvill, one half of UK's most famous ice skating Olympians, Torvill & Dean, broke the ice at Westfield Stratford City's outdoor ice rink presented by Samsung on the 22nd November at 9:30am. The gold medalist took to the ice with schoolchildren from Queensbridge School, Hackney to launch a competition across both centres whereby school children can win a years' worth of skating lessons from local ice rink Lea Valley.

Meanwhile, Westfield London launched with a fun-filled, family focused evening, complete with Festive Face Painting, Elves and Giant Penguins! Kids and parents caught the "Grotto Express" to visit Santa on the Southern Terrace while skaters took to the ice in style.

Both Westfield ice rinks presented by Samsung are now open for members of the public to either show off, or brush up on their skating skills.

The festivities are set to carry on all winter with a five-dimensional Christmas grotto, family entertainment and specialist Christmas shops, through to celebrity appearances and plenty of glamorous fashion. Save the Children, Westfield's Christmas charity partner, will also host a range of festive fun, from celebrity busking to kids' character appearances so don't forget to show your support. Westfield has Christmas wrapped-up and ready for a season of pure fashion, food and family fun!

Indoor and Outdoor Ice Skating | Thursday 22nd November 2012 - Sunday 6th January 2013

Skate under the stars at Westfield Stratford City's open air rink presented by Samsung in Market Square, near the Great Eastern Market and International Station, or revel in the fashionable surroundings of Westfield London's indoor ice rink presented by Samsung, inside The Atrium.
