Beginners starting, stopping and turning drop group in classes

Every Sunday, at 1pm, skateinstructor.com runs a beginner skating session where you can learn to skate forwards and stop safely. Although we charge £15 for this 1 hour session you can attend for FREE if you have bought your skates from Club Blue Room.

Simply turn up at The Royal Albert Memorial and have some fun as you take your first steps into the skating world!

The follow-on session

Every Sunday, at 2:30pm, we run a 1 hour follow-on session that leads on from our Sunday Beginners session. Whilst this is intended to teach you turns and how to get on-and-off pavements, it can also be used as a further hour for learning the skills from the Sunday Beginners session if you are struggling (we physically split the group if this is necessary). If you don't want to do this session on the same day you can return whenever you like.

This hour cost £15 and takes place at The Royal Albert Memorial
