Ice skating & Christmas Markets trip | Manchester

We're back with another unique event: *singles only* Ice skating and Christmas Markets!

These are NOT your typical dating events.

An hour on the ice rink followed by some festive food & mulled wine at the markets after. As usual, we have some games to spice things up and get people mingling! No ice skating skills required. 

Come alone or come with friends, enjoy a festive evening with other singles - make new mates & dates!

Want to join in but don't want to ice skate? Tickets for just the Christmas Markets available too - feel free to come from 6.30 and have a laugh watching us skate, or join us after from 8pm if you prefer!

Please note:

• We want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable enough to be their authentic selves. Most of our attendees come alone, so please don't feel intimidated. Drop us an email beforehand if you are feeling a little anxious: hello@authenticcollective.co.uk

• Our events are open to all, regardless of gender or sexuality

• Unfortunately we can't usually offer refunds, but contact us if you can no longer attend, as we will refund where we can if we have a waitlist. You can also transfer your ticket to someone of the same gender!

• Disclaimer: we can't accept any liability for any injuries during the event, please be sensible on the rink!
