CITY SKATE - Community Roller Disco

CITY SKATE is back at GL1 Leisure Centre on Friday 27 November, from 18:00 to 20:00. It's Gloucester's community roller disco, a not-for-profit project that keeps skating accessible and affordable across the city. The whole point is to bring people of all ages and abilities together through music, movement and fun, so it's as much about the social side as the skating.

It's a safe, inclusive space where beginners and experienced skaters can get active, build confidence and meet new people. If you've never put on a pair of skates in your life, you're in good company. Skates and protective equipment are available to hire on the night, so you don't need your own kit or any previous experience to get involved. You just turn up and go.

Beyond the regular sessions, they run themed nights too. There's a Halloween disco where fancy dress is encouraged, with prizes for Best Dressed Adult and Best Dressed Child. They also work to a 'Pay What You Can & Pay It Forward' model: you can pay what you can afford, or pay a bit extra to help someone else access a session. It's a nice way of making sure the disco stays open to everyone, regardless of what they've got in their pocket.

Tickets are £8.00 for adults and £4.00 for children. The session runs from 18:00 to 20:00 at GL1 Leisure Centre, Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DT.
