There’s a real ice rink with accessible skating for all, a nursery rink for budding skaters aged eight and under, a 40m-long Snowslide and the North Pole Starflyer. You can refuel and warm up at The Dolomites Cafe on the Square.

Sarah Millican tour (Leeds Town Hall on Tuesday to Friday, Huddersfield Town Hall on Saturday)

The BAFTA-nominated stand-up comedian and writer will be visiting Yorkshire for a series of shows this week as part of her UK tour.

The Sheffield Blitz (Weston Park Museum, Wednesday)

Sheffield suffered its deadliest air attack of World War Two overnight on December 12 and 13, 1940 - and seeing this small display at the museum will give you a snapshot of what happened on that night. The blitz resulted in lost lives, destroyed homes and damaged city buildings - including Weston Park Museum. Some of the objects damaged on that night can be seen.
