Staff at Queens Place Emera Centre in Liverpool have confirmed that the facilities rink will reopen for use on Friday.

The ice had to be closed on December 29 after experiencing issues with the buildings refrigeration system, which is essential for keeping a strong and safe ice surface.

The repairs needed to fix the issue were completed on January 12, and since then staff have been working to lay down a new ice surface.
