Commitment to Community:

Metrocentre has teamed up with Power Through Sport C.I.C—a not-for-profit sports development organisation dedicated to providing alternative sports, to bring Roller Rink to Metrocentre, providing another fun experience to the shopping destination, and helping to make roller skating accessible to all.

Helen Atkinson, marketing manager at Metrocentre says:“Roller skating is making a comeback, and we’re thrilled to be bringing a groovy Roller Rink to Metrocentre throughout the summer, which is going to bring a fun, relaxed and cool experience for anybody, including little skaters and professionals, who want to roller skate, whether that’s for practising or trying for the first time.

Roller Rink at Metrocentre welcomes skaters of all levels and will be open every day throughout the summer, featuring special live performances from local roller-skating stars from the Northeast. It is also the perfect place to host birthday parties or private events, offering an experience out of the ordinary for all.”

Johnny Tulip of Power Through Sports says: “We’re super-excited to be working in partnership with Metrocentre. As a not-for-profit aimed at rebalancing rising health inequalities and making the Northeast a healthier and happier region, alternative activities like roller sports have proven particularly engaging for those that slip through the net of mainstream sports. Reintroducing the next generation to fun street sports of the 90’s – we see people of all ages being empowered by learning a new skill and families coming together to support each other creating a greater sense of community.”

Metrocentre will offer more than just skating and free skate rentals, as there are over 270 stores, 60 places to eat and a range of leisure attractions to enjoy during your visit… you won’t want to leave!
