The Nottingham Hellfire Harlots are a roller derby league based in Nottingham, England. Founded in April 2010, the league now has two bouting teams (an A and B team) who play against teams from other leagues.
History
The league was founded in May 2010 by seven former members of the Nottingham Roller Girls. They initially trained at Sport Nottingham, but lost access to the venue and, after a long search, moved to the Djanogly City Academy before finally setting up their permanent home at Southglade Leisure Centre.
el VISIOUS, from the Harlots, played for Team England at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup. In December 2011, the Harlots won the Broxtowe Sports Club of the Year award. Also in late 2011, the league joined the UK Roller Derby Association.
In October 2012, the Harlots were accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme.
In May 2014, the Harlots took part in the Nottingham Playhouse's tribute to Torville and Dean, Mass Bolero and can be seen towards the end of the piece.
The Harlots also took part in their first WFTDA tournament, A Skate Odyssey, in Ghent 15–17 May 2015.
