Introducing People’s Hall! A new (old) venue in the heart of the city, People’s Hall is an 18th century townhouse - with a 19th century public hall extension - used for a variety of community & educational purposes throughout the years. Now set to be revamped, Nottingham Historic Building Trust are working with organisations such as Skate Nottingham to bring community back to People’s Hall!
We’re pleased to present a series of 6 creative, construction, and video-based workshops, rooted in skateboarding and free to attend.
Our different collaborators & workshop leaders will explore themes around skate-friendly cities, design, urban planning, making fun skate edits, and construction of both concrete and wooden skate obstacles!
These will be great experience for anyone aspiring to study or work within these areas. All ages are welcome, with a guidance age of 11+ for the two construction workshops.
