The children have recently found a love of rollerskating and it inspired me to find safe places for them to skate locally as well as more skating lessons and sessions that they can attend around their school hours. I wrote about where to go roller skating in Surrey but there are also so many skate parks, indoor roller rinks and leisure centres that offer skating options across Hampshire too.
I thought I’d put together all the roller skating options we’ve found across Hampshire in the hope they give your children more skating options too. There are roller skating rinks, places to skate outside and even options for roller skating birthday parties , private parties or other special events too.
Do I need to take my own roller skates rollerskating?
Many roller skating sessions offer skate hire and pad hire and others you bring your own skates so do click through and check the full information before booking. Also, if you are able to take your own skates it would be good to invest in a pair so that the children are always using the same skates, know they fit well and get used to them to skate.
