A 'Skatepark Jam' will be held with music, demonstrations, competitions and prizes.

It will take place from noon until 4pm and all are welcome.

The event is being organised by Sidmouth Town Council who paid two thirds of the cost of the new skatepark - the rest came from developer contributions made available by East Devon District Council.

The new skatepark is suitable for use by all ages and all skill levels of wheeled sports users including skaters, BMX bikers and scooters.
