Two New Dates for Skate Fest Announced

- 10/07/2023

Mid Sussex District Council has announced two new dates for Skate Fest following a very successful first event at the end of May.  

Skate Fest is a free community event offering skateboard workshops, a chance to get your skateboard wheels checked, live DJ workshops, and graffiti art sessions. 

The two new events will be held during the school holidays on: 

• Friday 21 July – Victoria Park, Haywards Heath – 2.30pm-5:00pm 
• Friday 25 August – King George’s Field, East Grinstead – 2.00pm-4:30pm

More than 200 people attended the first event at St John’s Park, Burgess Hill on 31 May. 

Councillor Chris Hobbs, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Customer Services, said: “This summer we’ve got a whole host of events lined up for young people of all ages. It’s fantastic to see our community out and about enjoying these events and I look forward to seeing everyone at these two Skate Fest afternoons”. 

“These events are part of a wider programme with our first Play Days on Tour activities kicking off on Tuesday 25 July.”
