Rollerworld Lives On
The Rollerworld Foundation is a charity that hosts pop-up roller skating events in and around Colchester, Essex.
Whilst we may have lost the building that Rollerworld Colchester sat in for 33 years, the heart of Rollerworld lives on. We have a very hard working team of volunteers who work tirelessly organising rollerskating events to keep the memory of Rollerworld alive.
Your support can help us fund a permanent new venue. So, watch this space for the amazing things we have coming up.
Since 2022, the team behind Rollerworld, and a dedicated group of volunteers have been running pop-up events in locations like Charter Hall, Colchester and Inspire Ipswich. These have been great fun and a huge success at ensuring the Rollerworld skating community still has a home. View our upcoming events here.
What’s next?
After a long application process, we are very proud to say we were granted Charity Status in October 2024.
The Charity is known as The Rollerworld Foundation (RWF) and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
This allows us to apply for grants, donations and funding and will allow us to find an appropriate building or land in which to build an amazing venue for wheeled sports. Nothing good happens quickly but we have been informed this could take a long time.
We are hopeful that we can make Rollerworld 2 happen in the very near future.

Thank you
We would like to thank everyone that has supported over the past few years. It has been a very stressful time but those that join us at our events and skating sessions really do keep us going.
A special thank you has to go out to our friends and volunteers who work so hard to keep us going and to ensure these events are as good as they can be. Bringing the Rollerworld vibe back is an amazing feeling and we hope to do this when venues become available for us. We cannot do this without our DJs, stewards, coaches, sound and lighting engineers, electricians and the vast amount of skilled people behind the scenes, we love each and everyone of you.
Thank You From Anne and Jason
Testimonials
Rollerworld is the best place to visit with friends and family. It is more than just a roller rink, it’s an experience and a place of exercise and fun. There are not many roller rinks in Colchester, and without this it would deprive many people of a local, affordable and accessable form of exercise.

“Rollerworld offers one of Colchester’s most unique and friendly entertainment spaces, provide a place not just where people can affordably socialise/have a fun day out, but also practice a sport/hobby that has become increasingly popular.
The loss of Rollerworld would severely impact Colchester as a whole, reducing the exciting options for group exercise in the town.”

I’ve been going to rollerworld since I was little and it’s just such a fun and amazing space. They’re so welcoming and accepting of everyone and it’s just a great evening out for family and friends. We need places like this in Colchester for the well-being and mental health of kids and adults alike.

Roller world was my childhood always loved to go, had birthday party’s there, went there with my friend boyfriend, had so many fun and exciting times there, I would hope that one day I would take my kids to the place that filled me with joy and makes me still Roller skate to this day.

I used to go skating from when I was 11-25 usually 1-3 times a week. My dad and brother used to go also. It’s a fantastic place to meet people if you are young and the perfect place to learn this activity. I would like to buy new skates as the ones I brought when I was 12/13 are braking apart finally, I’m now 38 and my daughter is 5 and I want her to go skating too and have the opportunity to learn how to skate.

The best roller rink around. Got multiple things to do if you dont want to skate too. Going rollerworld got me into skating as a hobby and would travel over an hour to go there weekly.

“We travel an hour each way to go to rollerworld. There aren’t many good sized skating rinks left, and it’s extremely important for kids growing up – social, exercise, etc etc
We used to go to our local rink in bury st edmunds until it shut for good.
This sort of asset needs protecting. Once it’s gone, it’s gone…”

Rollerworld has been around my whole life, I’ve grown up having parties there as have many others I know. As an adult, indoor skating has become my favourite exercise and venues like rollerworld are very hard to come by. I would be gutted to lose it.

Rollerworld is by far the best skate rink around by a long way, staff are always friendly, atmosphere is always good and if it were to go it would be devastating for all that work there and all that visit as there is nothing that comes close what rollerworld has to offer.

We’ve been coming here for a while now and the kids love it, especially the roller discos 😁. They have their own skates, they get to meet different kids outside of their usual groups snd it gives them confidence. It would be a real shame if Rollerworld was to go.

One-of-a-kind rink, superb venue with amazing staff, never had a boring night here, would be a huge loss to the local community + the skate community + the whole of the region, there are so few rinks left and to have one a prestigious as this lost forever would be a travesty!

“Rollerworld was my childhood, I’d be there every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sundays and I had the time of my life. I met life long friends here who I now class as family.
Rollerworld is an asset to colchester city, a place for children and adults to get fit and meet new people and learn a new sport.
You want people off the streets? Keep rollerworld open. You want to keep people fit? Keep rollerworld open.”

I have been visiting rollerworld since I was teenager I am now in my 30s this has so many childhood memories for me, there wasn’t and still isn’t enough places for young people to go and spend time with their friends and rollerworld provides this, it’s fun, builds confidence and is all time great day/night out with friends. It would be such a shame to see rollerworld go and it would be very sad.

It’s one of the best and oldest indoor skate rinks in the country. Always have a great time here. I’m from Felixstowe and don’t mind the short travel to this place as I love skating and what better place to do it. It would be a shame to see it close and pulled down and turned into houses or something else. Places like these are needed for social gathering and mental health also fitness.
