This article is about the ice rink in England. For the United States government center, see National Ice Center. For the adjoining arena, see Motorpoint Arena Nottingham.
The National Ice Centre (NIC) is located in Nottingham, England. It is situated just east of the city centre, close to the historic Lace Market area. The NIC was the first twin Olympic-sized (60m x 30m) ice pad facility in the UK, "heralding a new era in the development of ice skating".[1] Incorporating the Nottingham Arena (since January 2016, rebranded as the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham), the NIC is a combined live entertainment and leisure venue.
