What it’s like
A sports hall turned roller rink on Sundays, with a slower family session and a faster one for confident skaters and adults.
Skates go on and the sports hall becomes a rink for a couple of hours on a Sunday, disco lights and games included. Beginners are properly catered for here, nobody expects you to already know how to skate, and hire skates are £1.50 a pair if you haven't got your own.
There are two sessions and they're genuinely different in character. The 3pm to 4:30pm family slot is the slower, gentler one, which makes it the obvious choice if you've got a younger child or anyone wobbly on wheels. The 5pm to 6:30pm session is pitched at faster skaters and over-13s, so it's less of a fit if you're bringing a first-timer who's still holding the barrier.
Entry is £6 a skater, with skate hire and safety gear hire on top at £1.50 and £1 respectively, so budget a bit more than the headline price once everyone's kitted out. Birthday parties run from £90 for 10 skaters in the family session, with music requests taken in advance and the birthday child getting a shout-out and a small gift during the disco. Parking's free at the leisure centre and there's disabled parking close to the building, and while you can usually just turn up, December to March gets busy enough that booking ahead is the safer bet.

£6 entry per skater, plus £1.50 for skate hire and £1 for safety gear if you need them.

Do we need to book ahead?
Walk-ups are normally fine, but December to March gets busier so booking in advance is worth doing then.
