The countdown is now really on for Invisible Wind Factory’s Rollerdrome opening its doors on Saturday May 22nd, the region’s only roller skating venue.
As the city opens back up again, IWF are close to fully unveiling their bold and immersive concept – a Rollerdrome reimagined as an interplanetary disco, with live and streamed DJs sets from Liverpool Disco Festival’s United Skates parties across every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a variety of programming during the week. Skaters of all abilities are welcome, from beginners to advanced across a range of classes.

Rollerdrome’s Ethos
Central to the Rollerdrome’s ethos is focusing on activities that promote physical, mental and social well-being, all of which have been challenged during the last 15 months. The IWF team are combining the new craze of roller skating with music, distilled through their visionary approach to events.
Some of the new additions to Invisible Wind Factory include a permanent wooden dance floor and a range of quality skating gear to hire. There will be street food from Invisiburger serving mind-blowing meatless burgers, vegan shakes and sides with carnivores catered for too, and a bar service with cocktails, soft drinks and more.
