Whats the difference between skates and blades?

Roller-skates have four wheels in a square pattern, while Roller-blades have a single line of wheels. The choice between Roller-skates and Roller-blades ultimately comes down to personal preference and intended use.

Should i start with skates or blades if i'm new to skating?

Roller-skates may be a good choice if you're looking for stability and support, as the four wheels in a square pattern provide a wider base and more stability than inline skates. Roller-skates are also a good choice if you're interested in artistic or dance skating, as they offer more control and precision for dance movements.
On the other hand, roller-blades may be a good choice if you're interested in speed, agility, or tricks. The single line of wheels provides more maneuverability and speed compared to roller-skates, making them a popular choice for inline hockey, speed skating, and freestyle skating.

What sizes are your skates?

Our skates and blades that are available to hire are adult men's sizes and children's sizes, when you approach our skate hire desk, we have a mat on the floor that will allow you to match your foot size with our available sizes.

Can my young child skate (under 5)?

Yes, young children under 5 years old can learn to rollerskate, but it's important to ensure that they have close adult supervision. We do have appropriately sized children's skates for hire. However, it's important to keep in mind that young children are still developing their motor skills and may be more prone to falls and accidents.
Children under 5 do also receive discounts
