really want to get down there this year! i live near a perneamnt rink so theese dont come alng by me. But they need a real rik!

ellie
i think that birmingham should have more festive stuff like this . i mean the german market is the same stuff sold every year. i think there should be more countrys . so it can be enjoyable for every one

Marie Smith
I think the music & atmosphere is fab, the young kids that are hanging around should be able to entertain the people of Brum for 5 mins each with some funky moves on a podium put up for them. Instead of security moving them on, lets see some of Brums young dance talent!!

ann
it was cool because there was lots of music.

Jay
This rink is so cool, much better than last year. You can text tracks to skate to. Yeh!
