Midnight Skate 40th Anniversary

We invite you to celebrate 40 years of Midnight Skate, Youth Cymru’s iconic annual event. For 40 years, Midnight Skate has united an estimated 25,000 young people from across Wales to ice skate, create new friendships, and, most importantly, have fun.

This historical event has become a beloved tradition within the youth sector. It creates lasting memories for all who attend and a safe space to enjoy themselves – many young people attending will not have this luxury regularly. As we commemorate this significant milestone, we are contacting businesses for their support for the first time in its history.

Ensuring that this event remains accessible to all is crucial to us. We have consistently kept our admission fees below the usual entry costs, allowing youth clubs and individuals to save throughout the year to attend. Midnight Skate has long been a highlight on the calendar, eagerly anticipated by many.

Your support will enable us to maintain its affordability and enhance the experience for young people as we celebrate this huge milestone.

By partnering with us, your business will support Midnight Skate, demonstrate a commitment to youth development, and allow young people to reach their full potential. Join us in making the 40th Midnight Skate the most memorable yet!
