What visitors say
Guy, this place deserves more attention than it's given 😎! Charity run, with great people, great teachers and such heartful community. You can access different sessions from under5's to adult only. Including lessons. They now also have 2 days of daytime sessions, very handy for HomeEd, work schedules and any other type that you'd usually look for. Skateboard, scooters, blades... And if you don't own your gear, you can rent it out for the session. There is an outdoor space to skate at too and it's currently being renovated. Can't wait to see the new ramps!! The whole Pioneer Club has much more to offer, like music venues or even a family football watching sessions; avoiding the whole pub crowd works for us! If you haven't been, it is 100% worth putting it on your map.

Recently hired The Suet Yard (the smaller room) for my 50th birthday party. It was perfect - a stage, lighting, seating if needed, free car park, private bar. Easy to set up beforehand and tidy up afterwards. To top it off there was great communication with Jon who kindly answered my neurotic questions and Tom the sound engineer who helped me sort out the tech to be able to do my first DJ set! All in all a great venue and good value for money and nice to know it’s supporting the local community.

Came for a visit to the skate park. The guy on the desk (Josh?) was super nice and gave us lots of info on good times to visit and what updates are being done in the future to the outdoor area. The park itself has a great range of features for it's size and some really nice modular obstacles. Will definitely be back when I'm next in the area :)

Great indoor scooter/skateboarding venue. Warm welcome and session spacious and not over crowded. Trickier ramps for the more experienced but also enough to keep more junior folk. Will be back.
