About the Hot Ice Show
The Hot Ice Show is famous for its amazing ice skating performances. It's a big part of the fun at Blackpool Pleasure Beach every summer.
A Long History
This show has a really long history. It started way back in 1936. The show is performed in the Pleasure Beach Arena. This arena used to be called the Ice Drome. It was the first building in the UK made just for ice skating shows, opening in 1937!
Usually, you can watch the Hot Ice Show from July to September each year. A talented person named Amanda Thompson helps put the whole show together.
Sometimes, things happen that stop the show for a bit. For example, in 2009, the show was cancelled because the arena was being worked on. Also, in 2020, the show had to be put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
