Following the recent success of the Daniel Park ‘save the skate park’ campaign, we thought, it was time to celebrate it! The first year of GTSkateFest appeared alongside various jubilee celebrations
From live bands to beer and burgers, there will be something for everyone, whether you’re a budding boarder, mad on music, can't get enough of graffiti, or just want to watch. It's the only event of
its kind in the area, so will no doubt start small, but think big! The majority of the organisation and planning is composed by the youth of Whitchurch, just an opportunity to give young people a taste of responsibility, but also a chance to enjoy their hard earned and well deserved rewards in the end.
'a chance discussion in a pub resulted in one of Whitchurch’s most successful Jubilee celebration events...'more than 300 people turned out for a six-hour showcase of gravity defying skateboard, rollerblade, and BMX trickery....'
