TURN the seasons upside down for a day and swap your flip-flops for skating boots at Planet Ice in Cardiff or a pair of skis at Gloucester’s Ski and Snowboarding Centre.

Children who’ve been inspired by TV’s Dancing on Ice will love having a go themselves and even if they begin by hugging the edge, it won’t be long before they get their balance and their confidence and strike out across the ice.

There’s more slip-sliding away to be had at Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre, and until September 5, you can enjoy unlimited recreational skiing, blading and boarding during the summer school holidays for just £50, subject to terms and conditions.
