What we love about this venue:
- This sports hall is now the largest of all our venues with a fast floor.
- The hall is divided into two with removable dividers:
- The larger half of the hall can be used for experienced skaters (when we say half – its still really big)
- The slightly smaller half of the hall can be used for younger families and less experiences skaters. Our staff float between the two sides to make sure everyone is OK and having a great time throughout each session.
- Free for parents or grandparents to spectate.
- This venue is very popular with:
- Learner Skaters (of all ages)
- Less confident Skaters and very experience Skaters
- Adult Skaters
- Families
Roller Disco General Information:
- If you have your own skates please do not enter or leave the sports hall wearing them. This is the same for hire skates. If you need to visit the toilets mid session please take your skates off before leaving the hall and put them back on when you return.
- Please arrive promptly. During very busy times of the year you may be turned away if you arrive late and the session if full. Also arriving promptly gives everybody more time to play games between general skating.
- If you bring your own drinks, please try to use a spill proof container. In the event of a spillage, please notify a member of staff so that we can locate paper rolls to mop it up.
- There is usually a bin in the corner of the hall or just outside the hall and would appreciate you disposing of any rubbish appropriately as you leave.
- Because our families like to spectate we provide seating at the top and bottom of the hall for spectators and skaters to sit on. Please do not sit or leave bags on the long walls to the left and right of the hall as these need to be kept free to allow skaters to skate.
