The last few rays of
summer may still be with us, but a VIP prize awaits winter’s early birds at The
Royal Pavilion Ice Rink in Brighton.
As well as the
opportunity to skate on real ice against the stunning backdrop of the Royal
Pavilion, this year visitors will also be able to sample delicious dishes from
Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts. The attraction will open to the public from
November 10 until January 20, 2013.
General ticket sales for
the ice rink open at midday on September 20 and the first 50 skaters will win a
pair of tickets to the VIP launch party on November 8. The lucky ticket holders
will join media and celebrities to become the first to take to the ice this
year at the seasonal attraction, now in its third year.
Winners can also sample canapés and tasty dishes from Jamie
Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts, which will be tantalising tastebuds at a “pop up”
restaurant alongside the attraction. Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts is a
partnership between Jamie and fresh food expert Nigel Harris and brings the TV
chef”s passionate, entertaining and relaxed approach to food and dining at
venues and events across Britain.
Shella Parkin, managing director of Laine Ltd, who organises the event,
said: “The Pavilion belongs to the people of Brighton and Hove so it seemed
only right that we give everyone the chance to come along to our launch party.
“As well as being
first to test out the ice for the Christmas season, our guests will be able to
preview the delicious dishes from the team at Jamie Oliver’s Fabulous Feasts.
It doesn’t matter whether you are a pro skater or it’s your first time taking
to the ice, our aim is to offer the best Christmas skating and food experience
yet here at the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink.”
