Description

We are now officially open!

Minehead EYE is also not just for locals!!

Everyone is welcome, so come and see us whether you are here for a week on holiday and need your skating fix (you can hire boards, blades and safety gear from us) or live nearby and want a go at the best new skatepark for miles! Likewise, if you need to send some emails or just want to chill out and soak up the vibe. And keep an eye out for events and parties coming up.

Sadly, just like for everyone else, there are some rules for Guests too.

All visitors to the centre who are under 16 or using any of the paid facilities must have Guest cards, which means completing a Guest form and getting parental consent if you are under 16. N.B. If your parent is not with you when you turn up with your form we will need to speak to them before we can let you skate.

It is free to be a Guest but you can’t use centre unless you have a Guest card and have agreed to the terms and conditions in operation at Minehead EYE. If you are 16 or over and not using the paid facilities i.e. spectator or just using café you don't need a card but you may have to sign in at reception. Guests must pay to skate or use computer and other facilities like the media lab or studio. Skate sessions for Guests cost £5.

All Guests under 11 years of age must be supervised by someone responsible who is aged over 18.

The centre is split into two main sections; a multi-purpose arena including a skate park, and a youth centre and cafe area. But that's just the beginning: the skate area can also be used as a flexible space for a wide variety of community activities such as gigs etc; a cafe, shop and chill-out area; information technology and Internet access; multi-media suite, rehearsal space, recording studio and DJ booth; and exhibition space and art wall. Whatever you want to do, we've got it ready to go...

A number of activities take place in Minehead EYE which vary from training to just plain fun, including: competitions and events, skate school where older members can teach new users help, skills and training outside of conventional training areas, support and guidance via various support services and community projects. Other main aims of Minehead EYE are that it is accessible to all young people in West Somerset via use of an outreach service; that the centre is used by all sectors of the community to encourage community cohesion; that the young people will have continual input into the set up and running; and that the building is built on sustainable principles and promotes sustainable living at home.

Minehead EYE is open to all, and we cant wait to see everyone down here in the near future, just give us a call or e-mail if there's anything you'd like to know. Stay rad!
