Check out the skate ramp where South West Skate Ramps are on hand to teach you everything from dropping-in to tic-tacs and Ollies. Pop over to the games arena where you can join in with daily games of spikeball, rounders, football, target practice, and volleyball. Or why not head over to Greenbelt’s very own arts and craft venue and join in with the brilliant Make and Create sessions - you can try everything from print-making to shadow puppet-making, natural dye workshops to screen printing, marbling to collage.
