Progression, confidence and fun! That’s the aim for our skate workshops. We have put together a few different workshops that we hope will suit everyone – whatever ability you’re at! Learn to skate from scratch with our BEGINNERS crash course, LEVEL UP up with our skills coaching, and learn some combo tricks or new lines at our SKILLS or ADVANCED workshops!
Kids and teenagers can come along to our ‘Under 16’s’ workshop and those more anxious amongst you may benefit from our ‘Confidence Building’ workshop where we teach ways to manage fear and anxiety whilst skateboarding.
Our workshops offer a calming environment for new skaters. Set in a beautiful private garden in Sheffield, UK – surrounded by flowers, edible plants and woodlands, it’s the perfect place to learn to skate.

The day runs from the specified times below and will include an hour break for a DIY style pizza lunch/dinner which we will make together in the onsite wood fired pizza oven! The skate tuition provides us with enough time for you to get comfortable on the ramp and build your confidence on transition, whilst allowing you plenty of time to practise your new learns. Skateboards are available if you don’t have your own, but we can not provide helmet and pads due to hygiene restrictions. Please bring your own if you feel you need them. We strongly suggest you wear safety equipment on our courses.
All workshops can be female only or mixed groups – everyone is welcome!
