Fun Skate
Dress up in your best rainbow outfit, get on wheels and experience the fun of roller skating! All skates and protective gear provided at no extra cost; skaters are also welcome to bring their own. We'll start the session by running a quick introduction to skating, stopping and falling safely for those who need guidance. Otherwise you're good to get on skates and enjoy the great tunes.
The Fun Skate is open to all genders and anyone over the age of 6 (with parental consent required for under 18s).
