The Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service LGBT+ Proud Friends Network will also be in attendance to offer support and engage with the community. 

Robyn Pedley, National Ice Centre, said: “Our ice skating sessions are open to everyone all year round, so to celebrate Pride month, we’re proud to be holding a Pride disco session for all members of the ice skating community to celebrate acceptance and inclusion with us.”

Nottinghamshire Pride 2024 celebrates LGBTQ+ talent across the city and county and begins with a visibility march through the city centre on Saturday 27 July of more than 7,000 LGBTQ+ people and allies, followed by an afternoon market with events stage and educational stalls. 

The ice centre’s neighbours Saltbox will be celebrating all afternoon as well with a Pride Party Silent Disco, taking place 1pm – 5pm. It’s free entry and there’ll be 2-4-1 cocktails too. 

The skating parties are very popular so advance booking is advised to avoid disappointment.  For more information and to book, go to www.national-ice-centre.com/whats-on/pre-pride-disco
