Icebox’s managing director Richard Elmer said there had been “an overwhelming degree of support” for the rink’s return and continued “We have received letters and emails from local residents, business, colleges and universities. We really need the local Cambridge public to come out and support the event. We cannot wait to put this event on – it’s so exciting.”

Cambridge BID marketing manager, Becky Burrell said: “The ice rink will have a positive impact on city centre businesses during this crucial trading period because it will attract more visitors to the city, and extend the length of their visit. We welcome the ice rink as being beneficial for the city as a whole.”
