Get ready to roll, Manchester! The city is absolutely buzzing with opportunities to skate this May. Whether you’re a disco diva or a park shredder, there’s a session with your name on it. We’re seeing an incredible lineup of regular events, from the classic vibes at the Weekend Roller Skating Disco at Ardwick Sports Hall and the Saturday Roller Disco at Stretford Sports Village, to the awesome multi-level Friday Roller Disco at The Forum, Wythenshawe. For those looking to hit some ramps, the dedicated Monday Roller Session at Projekts MCR Skatepark is the place to be.
While these amazing organised events are keeping the scene lively, our Let’s Roll community is still doing what it does best: exploring the streets and finding hidden gems. This month, skaters uncovered a fantastic new spot perfect for a smooth session. It proves that Manchester’s skate scene thrives everywhere, from the disco floor to the city’s unique urban corners. Let’s dive into what our app and the wider community have discovered!
