Fun Skate

Kicking off with a fun skate for anyone over the age of 6 to dress up in their best rainbow outfit, get on wheels and experience the fun of skating. All skates and protective gear can be provided at no extra cost, skaters are also welcome to bring their own. We will start the session by running a quick introduction to skating, stopping and falling safely for those that would like it. 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 for under 18's)

Roller Derby

We're hosting two action-packed games of roller derby, starting with a full contact game as BRDL's Ratpack take on skaters from across the state in an epic battle. A modified-contact scrimmage will follow, showcasing derby's up-and-coming superstars.
