The trans+ skate collective Transkaters have partnered with the one-of-a-kind skate park Canopy on the Isle Of Wight to create a safe, calming, fun and inclusive environment to skate, learn new tricks and enjoy a remote woodland glade filled with LGBTQIA+ siblings.
Canopy has a beautiful, hand-built indoor wooden skatepark, lush green fields and camping facilities. Transkaters' skate retreat will involve as much skating as you'd like, with the option for skate lessons, plant-based food, campfires and wholesome activities. The Transkaters retreat is set to be a healing space for LGBTQIA+ people to connect with their bodies, nature and friends.
The event is open to LGBTQIA+ individuals, and no skating experience is required. The Members Tickets are for trans+ skaters, and the Public Tickets are for the rest of the LGBTQIA+ acronym. The event is for people interested in skateboarding, rollerskating, rollerblading, and wheelchair and mobility users very welcome. The site is accessible, but please reach out to transkaters@gmail.com if you have any questions.
More info on specific activities will be added closer to the time, with the option to add-on home-cooked food etc.
Join Transkaters in September 2024 for an experience that will leave you filled with trans joy and new skate tricks.
We have two camper/motorhome hookups available. These are spacious pitches to set up home for the weekend. You will need to bring your own cable to connect to the electric.
This ticket covers one space one the retreat. If you plan to share your camper with others they must purchase a general camping ticket to cover the costs.
If you need to cancel for any reason, please note that we offer a full refund for cancellations made up to two weeks prior to the event. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee a refund for cancellations made after that date, as we may not be able to fill the space on such short notice.
