About Penistone Leisure Centre
Enjoy a roller skating session at Penistone Leisure Centre - it’s fun and anyone can do it! You have a choice of different skating sessions to match your needs and abilities.
Want to skate with the little ones, or help them find their feet on skates? Join a Family Session - it’s a slow-paced and easy-going experience, perfect for younger kids. Fancy busting some moves on the dance floor? Penistone Leisure Centre organises special disco sessions for adults (every 2nd Saturday of the month) and for teens in school years 7-9 (every 3rd Friday of the month).
There's something for everyone at Penistone Leisure Centre! Whether it's our Public Skate sessions held every weekend or one of our many midweek fitness sessions like Pilates or Walking Netball, find your next thing with us. You can also book us for private sessions and play table tennis or badminton, or even have your party here.
We have The Hub cafe onsite, perfect for grabbing food and hot drink while your little ones skate (or if you just fancy a break from rolling). We also offer a variety of snacks like chocolate bars and crisps to fuel your zoom.
We provide all the required skating equipment free of charge during your session- no need to have your own roller skates! We also have a line of mats in the hall, perfect for those unconfident on their feet to learn to skate risk-free.
Don’t miss out on the holiday activity days at the centre, featuring arts & crafts, and seasonal parties!
