Romford Ice Rink is in the Sapphire Ice and Leisure Centre, close to the centre of Romford. It is a new multipurpose facility which opened in 2018.

The rink is one of the nicer arenas in the UK and home to a number of ice hockey teams, including the Raiders IHC of the NIHL National League. It is just one of 41 ice rinks in the UK that are home to competitive ice hockey teams.

Romford Ice Rink Parking

Romford Ice Rink doesn't have its own car park, but there are several in the area. The most convenient is a large car park opposite the rink (The Liberty Car Park) which charges £2.50 for 4 hours. Note that parking here is free on Sunday.

We have also had some luck parking for free on side streets. However, you will probably need to walk for around 15 minutes to get to the rink, and it can take time to find a space.

How Cold Is Romford Ice Rink?

If you haven't been to a hockey game before, you need to know that ice rinks are cold places (not a surprise!). And the closer you are to the ice, the colder you will be. Also, hockey rinks in the UK aren't heated, so temperatures in the arena drop in line with outside temperatures.

For those with some experience of UK rinks, we would rank the temperature of the Romford Raiders ice rink as average for the UK.

Romford Ice Rink Seating & Away Fan Blocks

Raiders IHC seating isn't allocated unless you have a season ticket, andthere isn't an assigned away fans block.

It is a new arena, bright with good lighting, and you are likely to have a good view wherever you sit. In any event, you are free to sit in any seat that isn't assigned to a season ticket holder, and in our experience, there usually is plenty of available seating.
