The ice rink, located in the building's main courtyard, has attracted thousands of visitors for a fifth consecutive year, an added attraction for 2004/5 being the use of real gas flame Victorian style lamp standards.

They were installed by specialist events company EMF Technology, which chose Calor LPG to create the proper atmosphere.

EMF explained: “We wanted to have the right ambience and an authentic look for the Victorian scene. We also had to ensure that both fuel supply and fuel deliveries would meet safety and technical requirements, and that meant talking with Calor.”

It was agreed to install two temporary 2,000ltr Calor LPG bulk tanks and these were topped up at weekly intervals. Calor's technical team worked with EMF to provide a hassle free gas supply, with each tank situated in its own compound, 50m apart.

Thanks to a specially extended season, the ice rink was in operation until the end of January.
