BACK for 2026!
We are super stoked to announce our non-residential Boot camps are back! Intensive 2 day crash courses for beginners and intermediate skaters set in our Sheffield site – The Secret Garden!
Join us in the garden for a UNIQUE boot camp!
Each day you’ll receive expert coaching on what our guests call “the most perfect garden mini ramp”. Super small groups of skaters mean you’ll get the very most out of your time with us.
Daily seasonal food, professional skate coaching and video skate analysis so we can check on your progress in real time.
Private Garden Mini Ramp
Standing proud at just 2ft high, our little green mini ramp tucked away at the back of our floral oasis is the PERFECT size for beginners to learn, and for more experienced skaters to play around on those more technical of transition tricks. Each day we will work towards your goals, improving your skills, fine tuning your technique and trying out those dream tricks! You’ll have time to practice in between coaching, and enjoy a seasonal lunch with ingredients from the garden… we might even fire up the pizza oven!
