Tickets for the largest temporary outdoor ice rink in the country are go on sale today in Birmingham.

The T-Mobile Street Ice attraction will return to the city on November 29, boasting the largest rink yet to be built in Centenary Square since its arrival three years ago.

Brought to Birmingham by sponsors T-Mobile and Birmingham City Council, the rink will be accompanied by a selection of stalls from the city's popular Frankfurt Christmas Market, serving warm drinks and snacks.

The main market in Victoria Square and New Street, will be open from November 15 to December 23.

In addition, the attraction will feature a "Text DJ" service, in partnership with Birmingham radio station BRMB.

This will allow visitors to skate to their favourite songs by selecting a tune from a DJ's play list.

Coun Ray Hassall, cabinet member for leisure, sport and culture, added the attraction was an "extremely successful joint venture by T-Mobile and Birmingham City Council."

He said: "This year, by increasing the size and capacity of the ice rink, we are hoping that more people than ever before will be able to enjoy this hugely popular ice rink."

Street Ice will be open daily from 10am to 10pm, from November 29 to January 13, at a cost of £5.00 per hour session.
