Arcadia Roller Derby as Skaters Unite for Trans Rights, a community-led fundraising event taking place at Sugden Sports Centre in Manchester on Saturday 28 November 2026.
Following the success of their inaugural event last December, which raised more than £2,000 for Good Law Project and Trans Mutual Aid Manchester, Organisers are bringing the roller derby community together once again to raise vital funds and show our support for trans rights.
This year, they’re expanding the event to feature three full-length roller derby games, bringing together skaters across different experience levels. Alongside the on-track action, audiences can look forward to entertainment from the returning Lesbian Boy Band Choir, stalls from local queer vendors, fun side games and fantastic prizes.
Trans skaters have always been, and will always be, a welcome and important part of roller derby. At a time when trans rights remain a vital issue, this event is an opportunity to celebrate our community, raise money for organisations supporting trans people, and demonstrate the power of coming together in solidarity.
Following the fantastic support for last year’s event, they’re committed to making Skaters Unite for Trans Rights an annual fundraising and awareness-raising event. Spectator tickets are now almost sold out, and they are looking forward to another brilliant day of sport, queer culture and community action.
