Skatepark & Festival Jam | Bradley Stoke Town Council

Saturday 17th June 2023

At this year's festival, Bradley Stoke Town Council's Youth Workers and local young people were delighted to once again host a popular package of Skatepark and Art activities. A mix of skate park skills and creative arts ran alongside our annual Festival Skatepark competition. The competition was interspersed with rider demonstrations and 'have-a-go' opportunities, with the support of Kings Ramps, along with music and an MC.

The following competitions took place during the afternoon:

Scooter: 12 & Under; 13+
BMX: 12 & Under; 13+
Skateboard: All ages
Roller Blades: All ages Inline & Quads

The Art activities gave young people the opportunity to participate in workshops run by Olas Arts and those attending produced their own piece of artwork to take home. The artist has worked with the Town Council in the past, running popular workshops and on this occasion used old vinyl records as a canvas for street art style creativity.

Young people's involvement in planning and organising the festival is supported by Bradley Stoke Town Council's youth workers. If you are a young person living in the Bradley Stoke area and aged 11 to 19 who would like to find out about our other youth work sessions and projects, or would like to get involved as a young person or volunteer, come along for a chat or contact the youth development & participation worker on 07900 253826 or email graham.baker@bradleystoke.gov.uk
