It was the first recreational activity for both men and women promoted commercially and civically.  The exhibition, Gliding On Ice, looks at the history of ice skating in Worcester from the skating parties of the Victorian era and the manufacturing of ice skates, to the opening of the Worcester Common Oval in the winter of 2012.
