Roller City, Campus West, Welwyn Garden City. Not sure they have open parties though, but you can hire it or turn up.
Kindest Regards,

There used to be one in Norwich years ago, maple floor if I remember right. Last time I went there was when I was too young to get into nightclubs,
so no idea if it's still there. It was up near the airport somewhere.

Nice spec on your skates there Thunder 
I was a Graf/Aerobics/ACS651 wide track) skater myself.
Both my local roller disco venues were leisure centre sports halls. The floors were very hard and very smooth, possibly tiled in some way...?
