Youtuber "Spanner" heads to Southsea Skatepark for a scooter shutdown
With sold out events after sold out events at skateparks all across the country, the one and only Spanner hits Southsea Skatepark with an incredible and exclusive event.
The event takes place on Sunday 29th March 2026, from 11am to 3pm for the YouTuber's special event.
Southsea Skatepark explained: "This isn’t your standard demo or meet and greet, this event includes a special 1 hour session with Spanner, unique chance ride and hang out in a smaller group. You then have the remaining three hours to enjoy the skatepark with your friends.
"Established in 1978, Southsea Skatepark is one of the UK’s longest-standing skateparks and a proud part of the local community. Run by a volunteer-led charity, we are more than just a place to ride — we are a community hub in the heart of Southsea where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to move, create, and connect.
"We provide a safe, welcoming space for skateboarding, BMX, scootering and other action sports, while also championing creativity, arts, and self-expression. For generations, the skatepark has been a place where friendships are formed, confidence is built, and individuality is celebrated.
"Our work extends beyond the ramps. We collaborate with local community groups, social enterprises, and marginalised communities to ensure that everyone has equitable access to opportunities for physical activity, creativity, and positive social connection.
"We believe skate culture is powerful — not only as a sport or lifestyle, but as a vehicle for wellbeing, inclusion, and community growth.
"With nearly five decades of history behind us, we remain committed to protecting the spirit of Southsea Skatepark while evolving to meet the needs of future generations.
