Ice Rink Launch - Leicester

Jubilee Square, Leicester LE1 4LD, UK

The festive season means the Ice Rink is back in Leicester`s Jubilee Square and I was invited by  @visitleicester  ( On an Independent and unpaid basis) to attend the launch event. We enter the rink via the new larger (wheelchair accessible) entrance on Jubilee Square alongside the Wheel Of Light where a number of food stalls are available for those after a German Sausage or festive Mulled Wine after they`ve taken to the ice. Once inside we see the large rink and Team Icicles Professional Ice Skating Team preparing for the launch. New for this year is the Street Curling lane with its distinctive Curling Stones. Now to the main event and  @LCFC  Mascot Filbert Fox has arrived to officially open the rink for the season with a countdown from 10 he karate chops the tinsel ribbon declaring the rink officially open. On the rink we are then treated to a performance of several ice dances by Team Icicles who then stay on the ice to inspire the next generation of ice skaters as members of the public take to the ice for the first official session of skating in Leicester for 2025. You can book your Skating session online at iceskateleicester.co.uk .

Early Morning at Bradgate Park

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
