About

Calling all skate community organisers, skatepark campaigners, coaches and local heroes!  
Skateboard GB and Pitt Street Skatepark are stoked to invite you to a day of talking, learning, working and skating together. 
Programme:
  • 14:00: arrive and skate 
  • 15:00-16:00: A talk from SBGB's Chris Lawton on opportunities for funding skate projects in 2026, based on some of the latest grants and government policy advice, followed by a Q&A,
  • 16:00-17:30: A workshop to sit together, get hands-on and help each other progress grant funding applications
  • 17:30-18:00: Break and skate. 
  • 18:00-19:00: A panel talk on how we can sustain and grow DIY and meanwhile projects, the skills we gain from this work, and links with the new National Youth Strategy
  • 19:00-20:00: A screening of 'Concrete Law', the new film by April Jones @dream_evil_pictures about grassroots activism and policy discourse to protect and sustain DIY skateparks
  • 20:00-22:00: Skate, hang out, eat and drink.
This free event will celebrate all the "tactical" work skaters do in cities and towns, including: clubbing together to run a meanwhile space like Pitt Street, The Warehouse or Shredenhams; building DIY skateparks in disused inner city spaces like Bournbrook or The Grove; replacing dilapidated public skateparks with volunteers, as the Isle of Wight skaters have done in Ryde and Ventnor; or filling gaps in youth provision after a council's financial crisis like the skaters in Nottingham.
The awesome Pitt Street skatepark will be available throughout to skate, with prizes, food and drinks, and hanging out with other community heroes until late.
