  • The Whitley Bay Ice Rink is an ice rink in Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear, England and is the home of the Whitley Warriors ice hockey team. It is the only permanent public ice rink in the north east of England and has a ten-pin bowling centre in the area upstairs.

Artists that have performed at the venue include AC/DC, The Cure, KISS, Metal Church, Metallica, Kylie Minogue, New Kids on the Block, Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, Sting, The Stone Roses and Take That, among others. The WWE then WWF held three wrestling house show's here in 1993 with wrestlers such as The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Razor Ramon, Diesel, Ted Dibiase and Yokozuna appearing. As with concerts the WWE now does all of its Newcastle shows in the larger Metro Radio Arena. In 2005, the ice rink was used to film BBC sitcom Thin Ice . Even though the series was set in Derby, Whitley Bay Ice Rink was chosen because the production company had used the venue on numerous occasions in the past . Although reference is made to Whitley Bay as the host of the British Championships in the programme, no mention is made in the credits. In 2006, the ice rink was criticized by local authorities after demonstrating exceedingly poor fire regulations when a blaze was discovered. Skaters continued on the ice whilst the fire escalated. 2008 saw the rink undertake several improvements, such as new barriers and plexi glass and bench doors for hockey players. Elite Ice Hockey is now played out of Whitley Bay ice rink as the Newcastle Vipers play their remaining home games out of Whitley Bay ice rink due to the Metro Radio arena not participating in holding sports events any more in the city's arena.
