After Party at Shredenhams
We’re teaming up with Campus Skateboarding to host a laid-back after party at Shredenhams
Right across the road from SPARKS, in the old Debenhams building in Broadmead. After the main festival wraps up at 3:30pm, we’ll head over together for a few hours of casual skating, music and chilled vibes.
🎧 There’ll be live music from Access Creative College and drinks flowing thanks to our awesome drinks sponsor Arbor Ales—one of the few small breweries in Bristol that’s part female-owned, and a perfect partner for Soulful Skate Co.
🎟 Entry is at Shredenhams' standard entrance price, and discounted drinks will be available thanks to Arbor’s generous support.
Stick around, bring your board (or borrow one), and come skate, sip, and celebrate with us.
