Rink Rules 101
How to have a safe and fun time skating!
Whether you’re a regular skater or just stepping foot on the rink for the very first time, we’ve got some rules for everyone to follow to help keep our arena a safe place for everyone to skate. So, the good times can keep rolling on and on and on…
- Skaters only on the rink
We do not allow walking on the rink. So, if you’re a parent or helping someone skate, you will need to skate with them too. It’s more fun in skates anyway! The only exception to this rule is our Beginners Skate session, where we allow you to walk on the rink to support those just starting.
2. Stay in motion. No blocking traffic.
Please all skate in the same direction. Especially during busier sessions, we need you to keep skating at a steady pace and avoid sudden stops where possible. This means everyone can enjoy the skating flow and help avoid any traffic jams or accidents.
3. Be courteous to other skaters.
Everyone here at Midlands Roller Arena is here to have a good time, so kindness is key. Please be mindful of other skaters around you in the shared arena space. Skating is more fun when we’re all in it together!
4. No food or drinks on the rink.
Skating and snacking at the same time don’t mix! Please enjoy food and drinks in our cafe to keep the rink clear for skating safely and cleanly.
5. Listen to the rink team.
Our staff and marshals are here to keep the rink running smoothly. If they give you a friendly reminder, it’s for your safety and allows everyone to have the best experience, so please listen to any instructions given.
6. Finally, HAVE FUN!
We’ll see you on the rink!
