Skateboarders and BMX racers will be performing at a free fun day in Radlett to encourage children to take up the sport.

The event, at Phillimore Recreation Ground, will have mini-workshops, offering young skateboarders the chance to get tips from the pros.

Organised by Aldenham Parish Council, the event will be held on Thursday, April 4 from 11am to 4pm.

Children and adults will also have the chance to showcase and practice their skills at the temporary skate park.

Skateboards and bikes will be provided on the day, which will also feature musical entertainment.
