Our 1-to-1 adult lessons are private — just you and your coach. No children, no group waiting for their turn, no sharing a coach. The whole session is yours at your own pace. Group lessons are also available but please note these may include younger riders — if you'd prefer adults only, a 1-to-1 is the right choice.

Never tried before?

Most adults who book a first lesson with us haven't been on a board since they were a teenager — or have never tried at all. Either way, that's completely normal here. Our coaches know exactly how to help adult beginners feel comfortable — usually within the first ten minutes.

Every adult lesson starts with the simple stuff — balance, pushing, turning, learning how to read a ramp. There's no rushing, no showing off, and no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Most adult beginners are rolling confidently by the end of their first session, which surprises them every time.

Every Friday evening we run a dedicated over 35s session — a low-pressure, no-ego space for older riders to skate together. A great way to try skating before committing to a lesson.

I like it there so much that at 43 I bought a board to have a go myself

This place is amazing! Our 8 year old loves it here. Its he's first time, and the atmosphere, music, and ramps are brilliant. Tom, the owner, is incredibly polite, offering us tea and coffee upon entry. My wife had a conversation with Tom and found out they give lessons here. He will be booked onto those asap. Highly recommend!!

Returning to skating after some time off the board and as an adult, I decided to give Skate Farm a go. I was quite apprehensive about going, but that disappeared in minutes after turning up. The passion Tom has for the sport, his knowledge and willing to share along with an awesome skate park - it provided a great experience. The people I have met there are great and I feel I will find a community of people from various backgrounds, but share a passion for skateboarding.

Brilliant first skateboarding lesson with Michael at the SkateFarm for my 8 year old, thank you. It's a great place to have fun, watch others and learn. I think my son has found a new hobby!

I absolutely love the SkateFarm! It was my daughter’s first time there and she had an amazing afternoon. We were all made to feel incredibly welcome. The facilities are brilliant (lots of space and different options). We had a private lesson and she learnt so much and didn’t want the afternoon to end! But more than anything, Tom and his team are creating a community and we were welcomed straight in. We can’t wait to come back!

My son loves this place. The staff are all so helpful and welcoming. He’s just started scooter lessons with the amazing Ollie. Ollie is very patient, encouraging and a great coach. Would definitely recommend.

Skatefarm Rocks 6 yr old loves the skatefarm, skatefarm family and Tom. Everyone is made to feel welcome , it is a super, family friendly place, where you can get lots of support and advice from peers who are more than willing to help you achieve ‘your best’. Tom Always has time for everyone, I don’t know how he does it, but everyone needs a Tom in there life, he is calm, collective and supportive and puts you at ease he just has a way with adults and kids alike. He is ‘The Wizard of skate’ and his lessons are fun and tailored to ability but also has a way of pushing a little out of your comfort zone to achieve a little more and feel accomplished. My son just loves his time here and would have lessons all day everyday if he could
