If you’re stuck for somewhere to go on a rainy day this leisure and shopping centre is just south of the centre of the city.

It goes back to 1996, but got an expensive overhaul ten years ago.

There are more than 160 shops in a clean, airy building.

But if you’re here with family the main appeal will be the leisure facilities; there’s a bowling alley and amusement arcade, but the marquee attractions is the 600 square-metre skating rink (the centre is called Ice Palace after all!). Parents can treat themselves to a spa trip, blowing off steam in the Turkish baths, jacuzzi suite or selecting from a menu of treatments.
