Skaters take over historic Malmesbury Abbey
- Published
Skaters in Wiltshire are enjoying a new skate park with a bit of a twist.
It's after half pipes, jumps and rails were set-up in Malmesbury Abbey.
This is the seventh time the abbey has been transformed and skaters will be able to enjoy the park until Friday night.
A skater jumps through the air under the roof of Malmesbury Abbey, Wiltshire.
It's not just skateboarders that are getting involved. Kids on scooters are also taking part.
The unusual setting is attracting a lot of attention especially from camera crews and photographers.
Young skaters from in and around Malmesbury use jumps and grinds to show off their talents.
The yearly half term activity attracts hundreds of skaters to the abbey.
After the last jump is performed on Friday a team of volunteers will remove the wooden boards and return the 120 straw bales that were used to make the park.
