The Skate Sanctuary

It's perfect for parties, private coaching, and practise. Bring a friend & make new ones! The Skate Sanctuary Team are a group of ordinary humans, who learned to roller skate as alternative exercise, as a dare, or because a friend wanted company at a class. We discovered a whole new lifestyle! Our gang are the amazing, unrecognised everyday heroes, mothers, wives, workers, carers and more. We skat

e because we love it and it makes us feel great. We aren't interested in competitions, just in lifting each other up. Everyone is welcome to skate with us - got skates? You're already part of our gang. It became our mission to spread the far-reaching effects of roller skating - increased confidence, increased physical activity and mental wellbeing, to name a few - to as many people as possible, so our company is a Community Interest Company. We aren't interested in huge profits, just in spreading the skate love.

​
Our team of instructors all learned to roller skate as adults so completely understand the journey you are on. Between us we have experience of roller derby, rolling in the skate park, outdoor and street skating, and rhythm roller dance. We find ways to fit roller skating into our busy lives, as we love the feeling being on 8 wheels brings. In 2020, The Skate Sanctuary (formally Roller Girl Gang) won a small business award. We are proud to be recognised for our services to roller skating and look forward to continuing to support our growing community from our new base in Mabgate Mills.

We provide so much more than just roller skates.
