Skateboard Tuition For Adults
Four week courses, every month on Mondays from 8 – 9:30pm
Our skate courses for adults are a regular fixture here at BYC. They’re an ideal experience for complete newcomers and those at beginner level who are looking for some instruction. The park will be closed to the public and three instructors will be on hand to teach, give advice and offer support. However far you want to take it, we can help you! Read more below.
Booking
Please remember: This course is for first timers and beginners who will benefit from hands-on help and advice from skate coaches, and not for those just looking for a quiet environment to practice. Please be considerate of your place.
Remaining spaces for current upcoming courses are shown below. To book on click the appropriate course and complete the corresponding form.

A More Detailed Look…
The course is a perfect place for anyone who isn’t sure where to start when it comes to picking up a board for the first time, or the first time in a while. If you’d love to give skateboarding a go but aren’t sure about taking that first step in to the park, this is for you. Any equipment you need is here to use.
The course takes a flexible approach, helping people learn as much as they want, no matter their initial ability. Each session has three skate coaches all there to help individually. If you have never skated before we can show you the ropes and get you flying around and using the ramps in no time. If you want to learn some specific things we’ll work on that too. There’ll also be plenty of suggestions of what to try next and how to improve what you’re doing.
We’ll also spend some time learning skatepark use and etiquette, to help you gain confidence using public parks and skating with others.
There is no set age limit on the courses. While they target and most often include those aged 18+, are happy to take people younger on board and have done in the past. Please give us an email to discuss beforehand.
Most people who join us aren’t sure what to expect, but all you need to do is take that step through the door.
About The Engineerium
The skatepark is currently based on the grounds of The British Engineerium in Hove. This is a big change for us and there are some things for everyone visiting to know before arriving. Please read through before visiting for the first time.
Where are we?
British Engineerium, The Droveway, Hove BN3 7QA (Google Maps)
The park is based at the back of the site. Use the entrance marked on the map to enter the grounds, and follow the signage to the front door of the park.
Visiting the site
We are very lucky to be renting this building from the folks at the Engineerium. It is a listed site with other spaces and community groups sharing the grounds and car park. This is not our building, and we ask that everyone visiting treats the Engineerium and its other visitors with care and respect. Any issues caused may put our use of the space in jeopardy.
No Dogs 🙁
Due to being on a freshwater site, dogs are strictly not permitted anywhere on the Engineerium grounds.
Travel & Parking
The park is a roughly 15 minute walk from either Hove or Aldrington Station. The nearest bus stop is at Waitrose, serviced by the 5B bus. The 5 and 5A stop at Hove Park Tavern, a five minute walk away.
Parking is available in the area shown on the map above.
