Memories of the Ice Skating Rink
Made: 2019
Record Number: HFC:2020:38
Ice was brought from Newlyn Fish Market and formed into an ice rink on stage with a lip to stop skaters flying off the edge. A 24 hour generator was needed to stop ice melting (which would happen at the rear of the rink) which the police weren’t happy about – the generator van was enormous and stood outside making a noise 24 hours a day. After the week had ended, the ice would be broken up, pushed into a wheelbarrow and then wheeled off to a carpark behind Staples and left to melt away!
