Skate Jam 24
EVENT POSTPONED
New date to be announced soon.
We’re sorry to say we have made the decision to postpone this Saturday’s (15 June) Skate Jam.
The long-range weather forecast is not looking good, and it would be unsafe to go ahead on the day if it’s raining and windy – we felt it was better to postpone now and try again for a (hopefully) sunny day in August.
The new date will be announced very soon.
For more information on the park, visit Horsham Skate Park
