RESIDENTS will be transported back to the 1970s as a roller disco will be held in Basingstoke this weekend.

The event will see both adults and children alike don their skates to cruise around Basingstoke Sports Centre in Festival Place on Sunday, October 6.

Open to all ages, although those under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, the disco will see participants try their hand at skating under the bright flashing lights of a disco ball.
