FARNHAM skate park will host a free skate, BMX and scooter workshop this summer.

The day-long event, organised by Waverley Borough Council and run by King Ramps, is an opportunity for young people to be coached by the pros and show off their new tricks.

It will take place from 10am to 4pm on Monday, August 7, at the skate park next to Farnham Leisure Centre in Dogflud Way.

Jenny Else, Waverley’s portfolio holder for health, well-being and culture, said: “This August we will be hosting yet another series of our annual skate park workshops, now running for more than 10 years.

“The skate park workshops are always very popular and this year’s events promise to be no exception.

“If you know anyone who is between the ages of seven and 16 tell them – they can drop in for a few hours or come for the full day, take part or watch some stunts performed by the pros.

“The sessions are a chance for children with little to no experience to learn some basic skills. Professional skaters, BMXers and scooter riders will be on hand to give tuition, advice and inspire. There will be opportunities to have a go on a ramp, try out some tricks and get rolling.

“The events require no booking but those aged under 16 must have a parent or guardian complete a permission form before taking part.

Either download the permission form online at www.waverley.gov.uk/skate or pick one up on the day.

A selection of safety equipment and skateboards will be provided free for use on the day.
