Dancing on Ice Stars Open The Cambridge Leisure Ice Rink!

Stars of the ITV show ‘Dancing on Ice’ Linda Lusardi and Dan Whiston officially opened the Cambridge Ice Rink on March the 19th and showed off a few of their moves for the public.

"This Ice Rink here in Cambridge looks really good fun, especially when its going to have the music playing and the lights are flashing. People are going to have a great time".

Believe it or not, Linda had only ice-skated once in her life before the show back when she was 14. Then during practice before the show slipped within minutes of being on the ice the first time and broke her leg. But that did not stop her. "I am so glad I persevered. It’s such a wonderful pass time and it really is quite exhilarating once you get the hang of it" she said.

Cambridge United star Dan Gleeson also popped down to the centre to check out the ice rink and have a look round. Don't worry U's fans, we didn’t ask him to get his skates on and have a go, we wouldn't want him to 'do a Linda' and break his leg with so many important games coming up!

Last Summer’s Beach Party at Cambridge Leisure

PY Gerbeau, Chief Executive of X-Leisure, launched last summer’s spectacular beach party, in celebration of X-Leisure’s acquisition of Cambridge Leisure on 4th March 2005. The Cambridge leisure scheme, purchased for £39 million, was awarded the accolade of "Best Commercial Mixed-Use Leisure Scheme" at the prestigious 2005 Retail & Leisure Property Awards.

The Beach Party took place at East Anglia’s premier entertainment destination on 23rd and 24th July on the venue’s central plaza. Despite the poor weather, visitors relaxed in deck chairs, watched traditional Punch & Judy shows, enjoyed a mix of steel bands, children’s workshops, acrobats, limbo dancers and walkabout street theatre. The party was headlined by "Mr Summer" himself, Peter André, who attracted hundreds of loyal fans.

Generous prizes were donated by anchor tenants TenPin Bowling, CineWorld, LA Fitness and Travelodge and our more adventurous visitors participated in extreme sports including our snowboard and surfboard simulators and bungee trampoline.
