Minehead’s skatepark sheds its wheels for a high-energy, supervised session that reimagines concrete bowls and ramps as an activity arena. Instructors guide participants through a rotating lineup of games and short skill challenges—everything from slacklining to human Hungry Hippos—packaged into a single 1 hour 30 minute session that’s designed for children and families.

THE VENUE

A skatepark repurposed into an activity arena

The session turns the skatepark into a supervised activity space where instructors lead a range of non-wheeled games and challenges, giving familiar concrete a new purpose.

THE ACTIVITIES

Rotations of games and skill stations

Participants try a variety of short activities drawn from the operator’s programme—examples include slacklining, sucker archery, curling, obstacle courses, parachute games and team challenges.

THE FORMAT

Short, supervised session ideal for drop-off

Sessions are supervised so parents may drop children off and collect them at the end; the operator runs concurrent sessions for different age groups.

What the day feels like

What the session feels like

Packed into 90 minutes, the Shake Up session moves quickly: a welcome and briefing, then rotations through short, contained activities led by instructors. The focus is playful, cooperative and varied—one moment balancing on a slackline, the next launching soft arrows or negotiating a mini obstacle course—emphasising fun and participation rather than technical progression.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this session suits—and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active kids (6+)Designed for children aged 6 and older, the session suits energetic kids who enjoy varied, social play and short skill challenges.
2
Working parentsBecause the session is supervised, parents can drop children off and return at pick-up time rather than watch the whole session.
3
Event-seekersFamilies looking for a single, compact activity block will find the 90-minute format convenient and varied.
4
Toddlers and under-5sNot suitable for under-6s; the operator runs a separate EYE Explorers session for children aged 5 and under at the same time.
