Burger brand Archie's is getting ready to open its brand new roller rink inside Trafford Palazzo.

We were invited to take a look around the venue this week, which it's hoped will be opening around the beginning of November, with visitors of all ages and skill level able to hire skates from the counter, or take their own.
