Free Festival of skating, creating & Wellbeing

The Coping Festival returns for the 6th year, having already raised over £17,000 for charity. This year we’re fundraising for The Ben Raemers Foundation, St Ann’s Hospice & Live Like Ralph.

The Coping Festival is where the action sports & creative community come together to build a festival of kind & rad vibes, raising money for charities that impact our collective wellbeing. Experience activities that benefit our personal wellbeing, organised with C.A.R.E in mind (connection, action, reflection & education) to inspire stories for brighter futures.

The day begins with Move a Mile, a mass movement to celebrate acting beyond our fears. The movement will leave from GRIT studios at 12pm, via a popular street bank for a quick session, then over to Graystone for the festival start at 1pm. Move how you move, skate, wheelchair, bike, scoot, quad, mobility scooter, blades - whatever - let’s move together!
