The Big Gay Bout

  • Kilbirnie Recreation Centre 101 Kilbirnie Crescent Wellington 6022 New Zealand (map)
The Big Gay Bout: Saturday 21st March 2026, first whistle at 5 PM

Roll into Pride with Pōneke’s very own Richter City Roller Derby as they join forces with Queer & Takatāpui Roller Derby for a bout bursting with aroha, colour, and full‑throttle derby energy. This is your chance to watch some of the fiercest skaters from across the motu bring their mana, skill, some heated rivalries and controlled chaos to the track – all in celebration of Rainbow and Takatāpui pride.

Settle in for an afternoon of fast wheels, big hits, and electric atmosphere as everyone brings their best to the track. Whether you’re a long‑time derby fan or brand new to the sport, you’ll feel the buzz the moment the first whistle blows. The action is loud, proud, and impossible to look away from.

Bring your mates and your loudest cheering voice – and come hungry. There’ll be kai and drinks available so you can fuel up while you soak in the spectacle.

Come watch, cheer, and rejoice in the beautiful rainbow chaos of Roller Derby.
