Beatsworkin’ decks the halls in Barnstaple

Comments(0)

The team at Beatsworkin' in Barnstaple has created a Christmas tree made entirely out of old skateboard decks.

The decks, which have been generously donated by customers and friends, form the main parts of the tree while posters and flyers were used to create baubles for decoration.

"We wanted to do something for Christmas that reflected our business, so we decided on the skate deck tree," said owner Glenn Field.

"It's the first year that we've put up Christmas decorations, so this was really fun to do."

A total of 16 decks were used to create the tree, which was designed and constructed by the staff and friends of the shop.

Glenn said: "We asked friends and customers to bring in their old decks, it was difficult because people are quite attached to their boards; but we had some great donations.

"A friend of ours, Denz, is a carpenter and can pretty much construct anything, so with the guys at the shop we all got together and contributed ideas to design this tree.

"We've had an amazing response from everyone and we're really pleased with how it's come together. The people who donated their boards have been coming into the shop to look for their deck on the tree which is really nice!"

Beatsworkin' on Queens Street Barnstaple is open for late night shopping every Thursday until 9pm, and is open every day of the week 10am to 6pm. The shop will also be open on Boxing Day.
