About us

**Welcome to Skaterham: A Thriving Hub for Young Extreme Sports Enthusiasts!**

Skaterham was born out of a vision to create a safe and exhilarating space for young people to practice extreme sports. When the former Caterham Barracks was being developed, Linden Homes reached out to the community, inviting us to shape a legacy for future generations. Twenty-six years ago, a youth conference was held to discover what young people truly needed, and from that gathering, Skaterham emerged!

Over the past two decades, we have welcomed more than 30,000 young people into our vibrant community, with an active membership currently standing at 4,000. Many of our original members have returned as parents, bringing their own children to experience the thrill of Skaterham!

Thanks to generous donations, fundraising efforts, and entry fees, we have continually enhanced our facilities. Today, Skaterham boasts a shop, a café, viewing platforms, modern restrooms, professional sound and lighting systems, and a delightful tuck shop.

We’re also excited to announce the introduction of fitness classes led by our manager, Darren, a qualified fitness instructor! These classes are just one of the many ways we’re expanding our offerings to better serve our community.

Our success is built on the unwavering support of our members and our incredible volunteers. As a charity, we rely on goodwill and funding to thrive, which is why we keep our entry fees low, ensuring that everyone can enjoy what we have to offer.

At Skaterham, we provide a friendly, safe, and supportive environment for riders of all ages and abilities, open in the evenings, on weekends, and during school holidays.

If you haven’t yet experienced the excitement of Skaterham, we invite you to come and explore! You’ll be amazed at what we have to offer! Join us and be part of our incredible journey! At Skaterham, every corner holds a new adventure waiting for you. Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, our vibrant community and top-notch facilities are designed to inspire and elevate your skills. Don’t miss out on our upcoming events and workshops, where you can connect with fellow enthusiasts and learn from the best. Come and see why Skaterham is not just a place to skate,scoot & ride, but a place to belong!
