Does anyone know if there is a roller-skating rink anywhere in sheffield? I'd like to take my kids and show them how I mispent my youth. :D

I think the Silver Blades on Queens Road is now a roller skating rink......

Thanks! I'll look into that. I knew I'd seen something somewhere. :)

I hope its a roller skating rink. I spent the majority of my teenage years going 4 times a week.

I cued up in rain and snow just to get in first. I even saved up for months for my very own white high boots, better for doing dance moves in.

There's also Virtual Ice in Rotherham, that have a public skating rink with music etc, along side the Roller Hockey rink... its a really good facility too.

Are there any parks with decent enough paths for it?

We used to rollerblade a lot in Peterborough

Formally the Queens Road Ice Rink (the Ice House), in May 2005, the ice was removed to make way for a revolutionary new Roller Skating surface.


The rink still maintaining much of the charm of bygone years and ALL of its atmosphere and attention to public service and family values !


The only noticeable difference is that you don't get wet when you fall over !

Hire skates are available at an additional cost of £1.50 per pair and you have a choice of hiring the traditional roller skates (quads) or their modern equivalent the inline skate
The Rink has recently changed ownership and you will be pleased to hear that Queens Road has had a full face lift including:-

New Decor
New Sports Lighting
New Barrier System
New Pro Shop
New Cafe & Bars
Spectator seating for 1000+ people
Private Function Rooms (Fully Licensed) 700 Capacity
