National restrictions ended on Wednesday 2 December and gyms and sport facilities are reopening across all tiers. Outdoor skating rinks can stay open across all tiers and indoor skating rinks can open in Tiers 1 and 2.

Under Tier 3, ice rinks are able to open for disability sport, sports as part of the curriculum in education and supervised sport and physical activity for under-18 year olds, including those who were under 18 years old on 31 August 2020. Elite and professional athletes may continue to use facilities including ice rinks to train and to compete behind closed doors.
