What is a Glice synthetic rink?
Glice synthetic ice rinks are an innovative eco-rink system made from high-performance synthetic panels that provide a skating surface remarkably close to natural ice — without any of the energy, water, or infrastructure requirements of a real rink.
Swiss-engineered to the highest standards, Glice rinks are fully customisable in size and shape — suitable for everything from intimate hotel courtyard pop-ups to large-scale visitor attraction centrepieces. They can be installed indoors or outdoors, on almost any flat surface and set up in a fraction of the time of a refrigerated rink.
As the UK’s exclusive Glice distributor, FX Live supplies, installs and manages Glice rinks for events, attractions, and destinations right across the country.

What we offer
Synthetic ice
Synthetic ice skating rinks of any size — for visitor attractions, holiday destinations, retail, events and hotels. No refrigeration, no meltwater, no fuss. A genuine skating experience that looks and feels like the real thing.
Eisstock curling
Synthetic curling rinks using Glice’s Eisstock system — a fun, accessible activity that works on the same synthetic ice surface as the skating rink. Perfect for adding variety and extending dwell time at your attraction or event.
Why choose Glice?
Glice synthetic panels are engineered to provide a skating experience as close to natural ice as possible — the same glide, the same feel, without the temperature management.
No refrigeration means no energy bills. A Glice rink costs a fraction of a real ice rink to run, making it viable for venues, events and attractions that couldn’t previously consider a skating rink.
A 200m² Glice rink saves 10,000 litres of water and 12,380 kWh of electricity per month compared to a refrigerated rink. Glice also plants 100 trees per rink to offset production and transport emissions.
Glice rinks are made from modular panels that can be configured to almost any size or shape — from a small boutique hotel courtyard to a full-size public skating rink. Completely bespoke to your space.
A Glice rink can be installed in a fraction of the time of a refrigerated rink — on almost any flat surface, indoors or outdoors, without any specialist infrastructure or permanent modifications.
Unlike real ice, Glice works in any temperature, making it suitable for year-round operation. Run a summer skating rink, a Christmas pop-up, or a permanent attraction without seasonal limitations.
