The National Curling Academy opened in August 2017, providing British Curling athletes with a dedicated facility and year-round access to high-quality ice. The center was established in the run-up to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
Curling has its roots in 16th-century Scotland. The sport has become one of Team GB and Paralympics GB’s most successful winter disciplines, with six Olympic medals and two Paralympic medals to date.
