Description
Roller skating makes a return to Cambridge Corn Exchange!
Roller skating is set to return to Cambridge Corn Exchange in celebration of its 150th anniversary year. Hundreds of people across Cambridgeshire will have fond memories of meeting at the Corn Exchange for a roller-skating session during the 1960s & 70s and on Saturday 9th May the venue rolls back the years to welcome skaters for a special one-off roller disco.
Hosted by Cam Skate, the day will be divided into 2 segments with a family skate session between 4:30pm and 7pm. Family skate is for children aged 5 and up, adults are welcome to skate during this session, but the focus will be on letting people under 18 enjoy the opportunity to skate.
The over 18s session runs between 7:30pm and 10pm, the Corn Exchange bar will be open throughout both sessions to quench the thirst of both eager skaters and avid spectators. Cambridge Dance will be selecting the tunes with each session bringing you the best music from across the globe for a unforgettable roller disco experience.
Roller skates will be available to hire with sizes starting from child’s size 12, equivalent to a small 5-year-old, people are also welcome to bring their own skates for their session.

Audio Loop
There is an infra-red hearing enhancement system which can be used either with, or without a hearing aid. The system only works in the auditorium and balcony. The headphones and receiver can be obtained from the steward at the Customer Services Desk. No deposit is required but the stewards will ask for your name and seat number” There are 6 sets available which consist of, a headset, receiver and neck loop. There are certain areas within the auditorium where the system doesn’t work:- Rows S to Z, seats 1 to 8 (House Right), at the rear of the auditorium. Rows XF to XK Rows O to R, seats 1 to 4 Using the system with a hearing aid Headphones are attached to the receiver and then worn in a similar fashion to a personal stereo. For those customers with hearing aids without a T setting, we suggest using this system with headphones but removing your hearing aid whilst inside the auditorium. The loop should be placed around the customer’s neck and attached to the receiver. The receiver should remain uncovered at all times, in order to pick up the signal. They can use channels 0 - 4 to receive the sound. The volume can be controlled on the receiver.
