Skate UK Mini Christmas Gala 2024
Young skaters from Active Stirling’s Skate UK programme are putting the finishing touches on their routines ahead of the highly anticipated Skate UK Mini Christmas Gala! This festive event will take place at The PEAK ice rink on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 December, showcasing the hard work and talent of skaters aged 5 to 16 years.
The gala promises a dazzling array of performances, from absolute beginners to BIS Level 1 skaters, with special guest appearances by Stirling New Figure Skating Club and Starlight Synchro. Many of these talented skaters began their journey with Active Stirling’s Skate UK programme and now compete at open competitions across the UK.
This year’s theme, ‘Magic at the Musicals,’ will bring iconic moments from ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ ‘Wicked,’ and ‘The Lion King’ to life on the ice. With two months of hard work behind them, the skaters are ready to wow the audience with their sparkle-filled routines!
For many, this will be their first performance in front of an audience on the ice. It's an excellent opportunity for everyone in the Skate UK programme to have fun working together and show off the skills they've learned throughout the year. I hope all enjoy watching this annual event as much as I do.
Come and Cheer Them On!
Spectators are warmly invited to attend the gala and cheer on the young skaters as they light up the rink. Performances are scheduled as follows:
- Saturday 14 December at 12:15 pm and 1:25 pm
- Sunday 15 December at 12:15 pm and 1:25 pm
Admission is FREE!
I’m so proud of how far our young skaters have come this year! With a fun musical twist to our show, it’s the perfect chance for them to show off their skills and all they’ve learned. We’re excited to welcome everyone to the rink to cheer them on and enjoy the show!
