Key FactsRollerworld Seeks New Venue After Closure
Dec 10, 2022 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: essexlive.news
  • More than 1,000 people attended Rollerworld's farewell event at the end of November, with 850 skating simultaneously.

  • Owners Jason and Anne Khan are closing due to a rent dispute but remain committed to continuing the facility elsewhere.

  • The rink, open since 1990, features an Olympic-sized 25 by 50-meter surface and top-tier equipment now being dismantled for relocation.

  • Closure impacts the local community deeply as the venue served as a vital social hub beyond just a skating rink.
  • This is a place in real life that actually connects people together and gives them a way to be social and now that is gone. It's so unbelievable to see the kids laughing and joking and exercising, interacting together in a controlled and safe environment - and that's just gone. That's the reason I'm still fighting so hard to the last second to keep it going.
    — Jason Khan, co-owner of Rollerworld in Colchester, speaking about the closure and his fight to find a new venue.
