Prince Harry will pay an official visit to Nottingham for a day focused on young people and city communities.
He will be visiting the National Ice Centre, the Full Effect project recording studio in St. Ann’s and will officially open the new police station at Byron House on Wednesday (October 26).
The National Ice Centre’s Coach Core programme runs sporting apprenticeships supported by the Royal Foundation.
Matt Bradbury, the National Ice Centre’s sports development officer said: “As a venue we’ve been a part of lots of planning meetings making sure everyone is organised and of course, ensuring the venue is in tip-top condition.
“We want to ensure everyone who attends the event is going to have a fantastic experience.
“It’s a very exciting week for us all here at the National Ice Centre and a wonderful project to be involved in; we’re really looking forward to tomorrow’s royal visit!”

Full Effect was created out of a long relationship the 32-year-old Royal has with parts of the city.
Kensington Palace tweeted: “The Prince asked his Foundation to launch the project after a visit to the studio in 2013. He has returned many times to see the project progress.”
As part of the project, young people are trained in media skills and produce broadcast-quality films, including a 30-minute film called Guillemot, the premiere of which the Prince attended at the Cornerhouse cinema in February 2015.
Full Effect is a two-part programme, supporting children from primary schools in St Ann’s and teenagers to deter them from becoming involved in youth violence and gangs.
