We have a total of 10 curling lanes across both our ice rinks at The PEAK and the National Curling Academy (NCA) at Stirling Sports Village.
The National Curling Academy (NCA), opened in August 2017, adds to the existing wide range of first-class facilities at Stirling Sports Village. The NCA is home to British Curling with Scotland, GB Olympic and Paralympic teams all basing their performance training at the facility.
We pride ourselves in actively striving to provide the highest standard of ice for both our performance athletes and our club curling users.
In addition to the 4 sheets within the NCA, we also have 6 sheets of ice available for curling from Monday – Thursday in the ice rink at The PEAK.
We are delighted that many curling clubs choose to curl at The PEAK with the ice being used for practice sessions, club games and bonspiels.
We also provide coached sessions for groups looking to try curling - please note that these sessions are dependant on ice and coach availability. For group coaching enquiries, please contact us at bookings@activestirling.org.uk.
Why not come and curl at the home of British Curling?
Our curling season typically runs from September-March and ice can be booked via our curling ice allocation process or on an ad-hoc basis throughout the season.
Ice is allocated on a priority basis in line with our usage policy. Our ice allocation process begins in March each year so if you’re a club and looking to book regular ice throughout the season, please get in touch at bookings@activestirling.org.uk .
