2020 Skate And Ride Opens Saturday, August 1st at Gore Cross

They officially open next Saturday but the premises is open today from 12 noon – 5pm for viewings.
There will be selected people testing the place throughout the afternoon & others (including co-owner Rob Ridge) doing more finishing off work. Next weekend they’ll open at 10am. Their August timetable is:

  • Monday – Closed all day.
  • Tuesday – 9am – 12noon (Under 12’s) & 5pm – 9pm
  • Wednesday – 5pm – 9pm
  • Thursday – 5pm – 9pm
  • Friday – 3pm – 9pm
  • Saturday – 11am – 7pm
  • Sunday – 11am – 6pm

Mondays and other closed times may be used for private hire but this will be subject to staffing.
There are numbered zones on the ramps which will help with social distancing and make users feel safe. Rob said: “If we get busy or we have youngsters we can say, ‘stay in that zone’ and people can keep in their zones, not just because of the virus, but if they are learning, hopefully it will stop a collision or two.

Don’t want to take part but watch?
Then relax on one of their comfortable stools in the viewing gallery.

Rob Ridge and Dom Brown, known for The Trick Factory indoor skate park which closed in St Michael’s, Bridport in 2016 got the thumbs up from Dorset Council to change the use of unit 2A from a general industrial unit, to a skate park, with support by Bradpole parish council.  They and their team would like to thank all those who donated to the facility’s Crowdfunder and all the local businesses that donated money or equipment.
They are still seeking volunteers to supervise and businesses to advertise at the skate park.  Keep up to date and communicate with them through their Facebook page HERE.
