Get your skates on in Salisbury from today

The REAL Ice Rink is now open in the Guildhall Square.

For the first time ever, the city has a real ice rink for skating fans to take to.

The rink, a popular addition to the city's Christmas Market is set up outside of the Guildhall.

It's 240 metres square, that's almost the size of a tennis court and is covered by a marquee which means it can be used in all weathers.

You'll be able to skate on it until the 6th January - it's closed on Christmas Day and New Years Day though.

Each session is an hour, and you'll have 45 minutes on the ice.

These local people were among the first to have a go: 

There will be aids to hire for little ones, like these polar bears!
