The session, running from 6pm to 10pm, will offer females the opportunity to skate with free tuition, practise their beat-making skills in a DJ workshop from Saffron Records, and talk to female event management practitioners about how to organise their own events.
The session, brainchild of Andre Seidel (Campus owner) and Lyndsay Davies (Creative Projects Manager at boom satsuma) aims to offer females a comfortable, safe space to skate and try new things whilst celebrating International Women’s Day.
