From Caterham to The Farm

If you live in Caterham, you’ve probably heard of Skaterham — it’s local and well-known. But more and more families are skipping it entirely and making the 35-minute journey down to The Skate Farm in Haywards Heath. So why? It comes down to community, layout, chill sessions, smaller ramps, private coaching, and a supportive skate community awaits — ideal for beginners and returning skaters.

A better vibe for young riders

Skaterham is a great facility, but its ramps are big, the sessions can feel intense, and it’s not always the most beginner-friendly place. That’s where we’re different. The Skate Farm is built for progress and confidence, not pressure.

We’ve got a mellow mini ramp garden, a mid-level half pipe, and a spacious skate field designed to help kids grow from beginner to confident skater — all with soft transitions and safe progression.

Coaching with heart

Our lead coach, Tom, he is as good with kids as he is on a board. Whether your child is 4 or 14, the team bring calm energy and great teaching, making everyone feel part of the session, no matter their ability.

Friendly and inclusive

We know skateparks can be overwhelming for some. That’s why we are creating a quiet sensory room — perfect for kids who need a break mid-session. Whether it’s neurodivergent riders who need time out, or just kids feeling overstimulated, there’s a calm, cosy space to reset.

We also cap numbers for each session to avoid overcrowding, and our team is always on hand to offer support if a rider is struggling.

Worth the trip

The Skate Farm is just off the A23 with free parking outside, and Haywards Heath station is only 10 minutes away. We’re open every day for skateboarding, scootering and inline skating — plus we offer lessons, parties, and private hire.
