Play!
Whilst at the Big Blue festival you also get the opportunity to learn about the sports and how to get started - We've got plenty for you to try including the chance to learn the art of Mountain Boarding and ride the hill, join in the Skate clinics, MMA martial Arts, Parkour, Thundercats. You can learn the basics of Kitesurfing, Windsurfing and Surfing, get an introduction to Land Yachting, or go for cruise on a Stand Up Paddle Board! And if you still have the energy why not try and climb the wall? If you fancy something less energetic you can also learn all about some more sedate activities including the Graffitti workshop, or join in the kids play area!
Public access plays a big part in the festival and we will have open Freesports park sessions every day for Skate, Inline, Mountain Board, Mtn Bike, BMX, Parkour, Streetboard and Streetdance - Just turn up with your bikes, wheels, boards or trainers and 'have a go' alongside some of the UK's top pros! (Strictly limited spaces available, try and get there early to avoid disappointment!)
