St Lukes Bombed Out Church Liverpool reviews by real event-goers

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

This was an absolute shame. The ice ring was plastic and uneven, everyone was in disbelief. 50 quid and the kids couldn't even skate. No wonder the comments are turned off. Just a photoshopped photo. Everyone left the rink almost straight away as they couldn't skate. The whole thing was so poor and embarrassing. My kids are great skaters and even they couldn't skate. So unfair and total rip off. Staff were nice but that's wear the positives end. I want a refund!

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Great atmospheric place. Just a shame it was so cold and wet on the day. Well done to all the staff from the guys at the entrance and those on the bar and skate collection. All welcoming and helpful.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Advertised as an ice rink- turned out to be synthetic ice.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

It was an okay day out, my 3 year old really enjoyed herself but the "ice rink" itself was very difficult to skate on. The people at the venue said this was because of the synthetic ice... The best we could manage was a little shuffle to get us around. (My other half grew up playing ice hockey and he also struggled) The bombed out church was beautiful as ever but with it being open air everywhere was wet and muddy and there was nowhere to leave shoes and bags other than under the narrow benches so it ended up getting a bit messy.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Synthetic ice. Ok for toddlers but not for adults. Extortionate price for the experience we had. Really disappointing.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Venue is amazing and great for photographs although the synthetic ice rink makes it impossible to skate so the actual experience was a big let down. Kids came off after 15mins as did many others also disappointed.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

The bombed out church itself is a lovely venue and the staff were all lovely, trying to make everyone have a great experience! However the price we paid and the experience we had were not equal. I understand that this was technically advertised as synthetic ice however this was not made obvious in advertisements or when booking. This should have been made clear . I hadn't heard of synthetic Ice before this event and didn't think to question whether it would be real ice or not, and as someone who goes ice skating every year and can very easily get around, this was impossible to skate on. You were basically either walking or shuffling to get around the "Ice" and it was more dangerous than safe as the floor was uneven. The size was small but that doesn't bother me so much as the bombed out church is not a big space itself, just that it was impossible to skate on. You'd expect to be able to skate on something called synthetic ice but me and my mate left after 15 mins of trying to skate on what is basically plastic. As someone who loves ice skating I was very disappointed with this event.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Really disappointed with this event. The ice rink was really small and you couldn't really skate around. Due to weather conditions which is uncontrollable, the rink and surrounding areas where muddy. The was no shelter or heat lamps so you were standing in the cold and rain while waiting. When getting ready to go on the ice you had no option but to sit on the wet benches and there was no where dry to store shoes and bags. Apart from the Christmas songs playing there was nothing really festive about the event. The only positive was that the staff were really pleasant and friendly. Really not worth the money at all.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Was terrible could not skate on that so called ice ring you have false advertised this and for the price people are paying to just walk around the side lines of a so called ring is ridiculous would not recommend to anyone at all go somewhere else for your money people

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Lovely surroundings at the bombed out church. The rink was very small, couldn't really "skate" more of a walk on ice skates.
Hot chocolate was £4, which made it a really expensive hour for 8 of us.
Wasn't great value for money, paid for the setting more than the actual ice skating.
Probably wouldn't repeat it.

Ice rink was really poor.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

False advertising, wasn't what we expected

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

It was hidden in the small print that it was "synthetic ice", disappointing as it was just a plastic floor that you couldn't actually skate on at all.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Honestly, the small size of the ice rink somewhat detracted from the experience. The limited space resulted in a rather crowded environment, making it feel as though we were all closely walking together.

Review of Bombed Out Church Ice Rink

Rink was small, plastic and very disappointing should be called 'plastic shuffling' instead of ice skating as any form of skating is quite impossible and I am by no means a big skater! shame because the venue is beautiful.
