What to bring

Don't forget to bring your:
Quad skates
Knee pads
Wrist guards

You won't be able to skate without these, so it's really important you pack them. It’s a good idea to carry your skate tools with you whenever you are skating in case you have any problems. Wear something comfortable that you can move in - whatever you'd wear to the gym. There are changing rooms on site if you need them. We also recommend bringing a bottle of water as skating is thirsty work!

Who can come along

Only people who are are participating in our roller skating classes are allowed into the venue for security, safety and the comfort of all of our skaters. Please don't bring friends, family members or children with you as they will not be allowed into the venue.

You must be 18+, have your own skates and protective kit and not be pregnant or postnatal to join a class. If you find out that you are pregnant after booking get in touch.

What to expect

We'll be introducing you to loads of new roller skating skills. We always revisit techniques and are happy to help each skater individually.

If you are feeling particularly anxious, want to share your pronouns or have any prior conditions or injuries please let your instructor know at the beginning of class. Anything you tell us will be treated with confidentiality and discretion and we will do our best to support you and offer moderations where possible.

Still got questions?

If you still have questions head to our FAQs where you'll find more information on protective kit and which roller skates to buy.
