Curling Challenge at Ice Rink Canary Wharf will resume soon for the first time since 2019.
The English Curling Association will support the tournament, which will take place from January 31 to February 2.
Anyone in the capital can join up to play in public matches. Over the three-day competition, up to 64 teams of three will compete, with only eight of those teams advancing to the finals on February 2.
Each session lasts 55 minutes, including 10 minutes for practise, and game slots will be available throughout the day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with curling equipment and shoe grips provided on the day of play to all registered teams.
This means you won’t have to pay for equipment to play; instead, you’ll just have to pay a sign-up fee, which will vary depending on the size of your team.
There are also prizes up for grabs, such as a reserved area and complimentary bar tab at Off Piste Bar, with first place getting a £250 bar tab and second and third place winning £125 and £75 tabs, respectively.
Lucie Moore, who works in art and events at Canary Wharf says: ‘We are looking forward to bringing teams from across London together for Canary Wharf’s Curling Challenge.
‘The three-day event is a fantastic way to get out of the office and down to Ice Rink at the start of the year and try something new, and we encourage all abilities and ages to get involved.
‘Whether you work on the Wharf or you’re visiting the area, there’s nowhere better than Ice Rink Canary Wharf to try your hand at curling and compete to be this year’s champions.’
If you just fancy a skate, Ice Rink Canary Wharf will be open every day until February 25.
