You might remember the King Kong event at the skatepark back in the autumn of last year (our photos are here and here), it was really successful and raised a lot of money for the skatepark. On Friday 12th March the next King Kong event will this time be at The Wedgewood Rooms with a line up including music and an indoor mini ramp. Yes. Indoor. Mini ramp. Doors open 8pm-2am (U18s allowed 8pm-12). Tickets are £5, £6 on the door.
