Coventry kids can chill out during their holidays while skating away to some top tunes from Grease at the SkyDome Arena.

A unique show is being held next month when the audience takes to the ice, but the performers stay on the stage at the 4,000 seater venue on 15 August.

Visitors to the SkyDome Arena will be treated to the stage show 'Summer Lovin', which includes a repertoire of songs from the hit musical Grease, as well as a series of competitions and give-aways.

John Travolta look-a-like Martin Harvey is coming to Coventry for the event and arena manager Simon Burnett admitted he was delighted to have secured his services.

He said:

"The ice-skating facilities at the Arena have been extremely popular since we have opened and we are also close to being able to announce a host of concert line-ups.

"This will be a combination of the two as there will be stage shows on whilst people are skating - there is no other venue in the country that could do that.

"People can come along and soak up the atmosphere and entertainment as they skate or come and take a seat in the stands and join in the fun.

"Martin Harvey usually works at a top live entertainment venue in Swansea and has gained a great reputation in the industry.

Summer Lovin will run from 2pm to 6pm and entry will be on a pay-on-the-day basis.
