Launching on World Kindness Day (13 November), the competition celebrates the joy of giving families the opportunity to create special festive memories together this Christmas

The competition will run across Telford Ice Rink's Facebook page from Friday 13 November until Friday 20 November, giving families the opportunity to enjoy a memorable festive skate and meet a very special guest on the ice.

During selected sessions throughout December, Santa will swap his sleigh for skates to join visitors for festive fun at Telford Ice Rink.

The winner will receive a family ticket for a Skate with Santa session, which combines all the excitement of ice skating with the magic of Christmas.
