Altrincham Ice Dome is an ice rink in Altrincham, Manchester, England. It has 2,026 seats according to the floorplan, and up to 500 standing places. despite this, the building has a capacity capped at 2,150 for ice hockey as standing around the plexi glass is not allowed in the rink during the games. The Ice Dome hosts the home matches of the Manchester Phoenix and Trafford Metros ice hockey clubs, as well as junior ice hockey, public skating sessions, birthday parties, private events, and skating lessons.
The rink replaced the original Altrincham Ice Rink, which had closed in 2003. The Dome itself will eventually be replaced by a more permanent 3,000 seat facility as part of the Altair development.
