PLANNING TO WEAR YOUR OWN SKATES? No problem, but all skates brought in must meet these specifications:
- Be clean and in good repair
- The wheels must be made of Polyurethane. (not PVC or other hard plastics).
- No ‘In and Out’ privileges, pass-outs, or loitering around the premises or car parks. An admission fee will be required for re-entry.
- No missing wheels, worn bearings or loose components.
- No protruding nuts, bolts or sharp components/parts.
- Wheel bolts/nuts must be fully recessed inside wheel.
- Do not skate into the venue please, put your skates on once inside the building.
Your skates will be inspected before you are allowed to use them. To protect other skaters from injury and the fabric of the venue from damage they will not be allowed in if they don’t meet these standards. Loose wheels will be tightened free of charge. If there is excessive play in the bearings following wheel bolt/nut tightening, you will not be allowed to use them and will probably need a set of new bearings.
Socks must be worn with hire skates.

Skating is not permitted in any area other than on the rink / rink access points
All skaters travel in the same counter-clockwise direction unless the DJ says otherwise. Skating against the flow of skaters is not permitted.
When skating look out for other skaters. Always be alert and skate respectfully of others at all times.. Be courteous and considerate of the space of other skaters, marshals and supervisors.
Beginners and less confident skaters should use the area at the sides of the rink. Never stop or stand on the rink (even along the side). This blocks the flow of skaters and can cause collisions.
In the event of a fall, keep hands out of the way of other skaters and get up as quickly as possible to avoid injury to or from passing skaters.
The use of cameras, headsets, mobile phones or hand-held electronic devices is not recommended on the rink. It’s distracting, you might fall over, your phone might get smashed on the floor.
Flashing/strobe lights, water based non toxic smoke/haze/fog effects and video recording might be used during your visit. Pictures and or video of you may be published by us or other participants/members of the public.
