Expert tuition from professional skateboard coaches in a private and beautifully calm outdoor space.
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 with our skills coaching, and learn some combo tricks or new lines at our advanced workshop! Kids and teenagers can come along to our Under 16s 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. We’ve just had a brand new revamp too, come check it put!
Our workshops offer a calming environment for new skaters. Set in a beautiful private garden surrounded by flowers, edible plants and woodlands, it’s the perfect place to learn to skate.
