We’ve been based in Greater Manchester since 2008, but we have recently opened a new training and bouting venue in Oldham, above the Leisure Lounge on King Street. This building had at one time been Riley’s Pool Hall, and Butterflies Nightclub, but had been disused for some time. This summer, we began leasing this space, and our roller girls took to work to transform it into a rollerskating venue.

Having our own training and bouting venue in Oldham is just amazing for our league, but we hope to create more than that. Somewhere for people to come, skate every discipline, and encourage sports and activity in Oldham. We still have lots to do to get the venue looking good, but it’s getting there, and with the support of the local community, we aim to bring a wealth of positivity to Oldham.

The Thunderdome is on King Street in Oldham, and the entrance is a purple door opposite Halfords. There are some extensive roadworks going on around that junction at the moment, for the new Metrolink, so please be careful if you are travelling by car.

You can park on street around that area, or in the local multi-storey carparks near the shops, but be aware that some of these close at 7pm.
