April 10th – 13th

For the third year we are pleased to announce the details of the EasterSkate weekend.

The EasterSkate is a themed family event taking place over the entire Easter Bank Holiday weekend. It is a fun, free event aimed at all levels of skaters from beginners to advanced, incorporating street-skating, freestyle and general mucking about.

The event kicks off the summer season of skating, as well as encouraging new participants to try out this exciting, dynamic, and increasingly popular sport.

Last year’s event was attended by over 600 people of all ages, including international visitors and we are expecting more to join in.

The street skates will pass through the most visited tourist spots in London, accompanied by hundreds of skaters all dancing to our 124 dB mobile sound system.

Over the Easter Holiday weekend (10th – 13th April) we have arranged for 4 days of skating fun for all abilities and for all the family.
