Tips & Advice

- Wear thick socks, gloves, a hat and a scarf for skating, because the event is outdoors even though much of it is covered.
- Allow extra time to get in, since bag searches and security checks at the entrance can cause delays.
- Leave your own alcohol at home, because it isn't allowed on site and drinks bought there must be finished before you leave.
- Walk the five minutes from the bus stops on the Bredabaan or Miksebaan if you are coming by public transport.
