Thank you to all our customers and coaches for their patience and support throughout this period of change. Beth on Celebs on Ice! Beth is currently touring with Celebrities on Ice and her skating partner, Dan Whiston. After an excellent opening weekend in Birmingham, she is off to Cardiff this weekend for week 2 of the tour! The tour unfortunately does not come to Liverpool, however they are coming to Event City in Manchester on the 17th – 19th May with tickets still available to purchase online at https://www.theticketfactory.com/coi/online/. When she finishes the tour, we will be running in house event days to allow our gymnasts to meet Beth and be coached by her, wear her Olympic medal and check out her Dancing on Ice trophy! The events will be available to book online so make sure you keep an eye on your emails and our social media and website for more information as it arises!
