Event overview

Skating has connected a few times in the life of Ludlow Fringe patron, Nick Corston.

His parents met after a collision on a roller skating rink in Suffolk and he himself appeared on the front page of the local Advertiser calling for a skatepark in the town after he had been bitten by the bug and made his first skateboard from a roller skates to cut in half.

He say he still has two life ambition to be able to roller disco and play roller hockey, two things he's dabbled with on various trips to in LA over the years.

This session of talks will include a range of skateboarders and roller skaters from across the town and across the country.

STEAM Co.

Nick co-founded the non-profit community enterprise STEAM Co. to help connect our kids with their art and our communities with their schools.

This evening of talks, films and other artistic contributions will appeal to all creative carers - people and organisations who care about children, creativity and all our futures.

To that end Nick will launch a £2m fund to put 22 STEAM Co. Drop Trucks and STEAMsters on the road across the UK for their #Festival22 of Creativity.

It will be live and live streamed globally and we really want you to bring your stories as well as share them on social media in advance with the the tag #ARTofDADS #LudlowFringe21.
