You don’t need snow to go sledging with Colchester’s latest attraction.

A 35-metre long by five metre high ice slide will be in Castle Park, in Colchester, from December 1 until January 3.

There are five lanes on the ride - four lanes are to be used with a plastic sled and the other is for more adventurous riders.

People will be able to buy tickets for the slide which entitles them to unlimited rides for 25 minutes.

Annie Feltham, borough councillor for commercial services said:

“The ice slide promises to give adults and children alike some festive fuelled fun in the park.

“Christmas in Colchester is a truly unique experience offering a great choice of shopping and attractions for people of all ages to enjoy and really get into the festive spirit.

“The addition of the Ice Slide at Castle Park is yet another reason for people to come to Colchester this Christmas.”

Please note the sleds are designed for all ages but height restrictions do apply.
