Beats, Boards & BBQ 2025

We're back for a third epic year! Join us for supreme skateboarding, perfect parkour, sizzling sounds, belly-busting BBQ and much more. It's the ultimate community day - with free food for kids, skate and parkour displays (or give it a go yourself!), a massive sound system, craft stalls, kids play, t-shirt design workshops and oh-so-very much more!

BEATS: DJ Shorty (@Djshorty79) returns for another park-rockin’ set, alongside Harry Shotta (@therealharryshotta), Paul T & Edward Oberon (@pault_edwardoberon) - backed and fronted by the magnificent RigFiftyOne (@rigfiftyone) sound system!
BOARDS: As well as gnarly shredding from the finest local boarders, and a chance to try it out for free with School of Skate (@schoolofskateuk), we’re welcoming precision techniques from the traceurs and tracueses of Parkour UK (@parkouruk) to Charlton Park this year for the first time - and not forgetting Max the Skateboarding dog! (providing there’s a successful negotiation over his rider)
BBQ: Our epic burgers (free for under 18s) can be washed down by a full bar from Keg & Shaker (@kegandshaker)
