Skating Experience for Two with Skate Hire for £5 at The National Ice Centre (Value £16)

Originally designed as hand-held implements to carve the intricate patterns found in seventeenth century French silverware, ice-skates have since been deployed to help struggling celebrities kick-start their careers. Take to the ice and make a mark with today's Groupon: for £5 instead of £16, enjoy a skating session for two at the National Ice Centre.

From the particularly cold winter of 1895 when local citizens skated across the frozen River Trent to the birthplace of Torvill and Dean, Nottingham is arguably the homeland of British ice-skating. Fitting then that the city is also host to the National Ice Centre at the Capital FM Arena. Boasting two Olympic sized pads, the National Ice Centre was opened in 2000 with a seal of approval from HM The Queen. The first arena in the country to offer such facilities, the National Ice Skating Association has designated the National Ice Centre a Centre of Excellence for Short Track Speed Skating as well as being home to the Great Britain Short Track Speed Skating squad.

Icy Groupon holders are invited to slip on down to the National Ice Centre and test the facilities for themselves. Choosing a suitable partner, chart the way to Britain's next Olympic success on the ice by developing skills and moves that would win over even the coldest-hearted of judges.
