Established in 2012, the National Museum of Roller Derby (NMRD) is the UK’s first permanent collection of ephemera and memorabilia relating to the sport of Women’s Flat Track Roller Derby. Our ‘Object of the Month’ celebrates objects from our ever expanding collections.
We want your old team shirts, flyers, zines and other paraphernalia to illustrate the remarkable development of the sport in the UK. Keep an eye on the Facebook page for future announcements on how to donate items to the Museum.

The British Roller Derby Championships grew from the End of the World Series, an interleague tournament featuring six leagues from central England in 2012. The tournament was won by Milton Keynes Roller Derby. The trophy pictured was awarded to the Vendetta Vixens. Following the EOTW, the tournament doubled in size and became the Heartlands Series for 2013–14 then launching nationally as the British Roller Derby Championships in 2015.
