A Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that The Dome is now open, but the Ice Caps will remain closed for the day following an ammonia leak in the early hours of the morning.

“A leak was detected in the plant works that refrigerate the ice, located externally to the building, and was responded to quickly meaning that minimal impact to the venue and surrounding area has been experienced.

“We can confirm that the site has been made safe and we are grateful to the emergency services for their quick response.

“Customers are now being welcomed into the building, but the Ice Caps will remain closed for the day and we apologise to any customers affected by this closure.”
