1 / 3Rollerworld Derby
📍 Derby, North West
One of only four wooden roller rinks left in the UK, open since 1981. Birthday party packages for up to 30 guests include skating admission, hot meals, and party bags. Staff are consistently praised for going above and beyond.
Had an amazing time here today! We came for my stepdaughters 16th birthday 🎂 We were met by Matt W who was incredible as our party host. He made us feel very welcome, excited and was informative with everything.... nothing was too much trouble. All members of staff were incredible from hosts, skate hire and rink helpers, to the guys in the diner who made such a big deal of her for her birthday. A huge shoutout to Tesner too.... she was incredible on her blades and noticed my autistic 6 year old little boy trying to skate after seeing her, so she offered to take him round the rink for me (even though her skates were off and she had finished on the rink) A fab day had by all. Thankyou so much Rollerworld Derby
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families celebrating birthdays with children aged 6–16 who want hands-on skating in a high-energy disco environment. Staff deliver standout party hosting and actively support nervous skaters. Families sensitive to loud music or expecting upscale catering should set expectations accordingly — the draw is the rink experience, not the food.

“Me and my family love going to Derby Roller World. We always have a great time. We recently had our daughter’s birthday party there. The staff went above and beyond to make it a fantastic experience. They were all really professional, helpful and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for anything else. We’re looking forward to going skating again next weekend.”

“We had a party for our 7 year old and 13 guests at Rollerworld and they all had brilliant time. All the staff at Rollerworld were really helpful, informative and made sure our son had a really great evening. Thanks for looking after us. 🙏🙏”

“My child and friends had a great afternoon for their birthday celebration. First time visiting the roller world and we weren't disappointed, the staff were lovely and the girls had a great time. The place is a little dated and a warning to those with sensitive hearing, it is very loud but then it is a disco so you can't expect anything else really. Food is basic but more than satisfies children and the package laid on for the birthday party was extremely affordable. Games run by staff on the rink were fun but didn't take up all the time so plenty of free skating. All in all definitely a choice venue for a birthday party for young to early teens.”
