• Wolverhampton Art Gallery, if you like stair sets and waxed ledges and other thingies. There is a hotdog guy that stands right next to it on a sunday but he rips you off so go to the one just down the steps from him. There's some phat places to session and booze away but just stay sober enough for wen the FEDS come and you have to leggit for dear life and hold onto your board and booze untill you get to the civic and st. Peters which is another nice skate spot. So get get skatin!
• the back of the library at warstones - for people who want to have good time with friends bur arent old enough or havent got enough money to go to a pub
• St Peter's Church gardens, where many an idle minute can be withered away laughing at the antics of the local hoboes. They sip their cider, shout at their "dahgs" and stagger joyfully around the fountain without a care in the world. Alternatively try 'Maccies' where ineloquent townies limp their way to and fro, with a "ho" and bad attitude forming a protective shield around their insecure and feeble personas.
• if you want a place to drink cheap cider and roll about in grass, try bantock park. many of my younger days were spent doing just this.
• The Man on the Horse, a now vandalised statue of the Prince Consort atop a black 'oss.
• The bus station in Gornal Wood- any bloke lookin for a classy bird and a bottle of white lightnin should go there. its such a cool place!
• good old bantock park, but watch out for the 13yr old slags, they might chase you, it's been known to happen.
• Blast Off Every Saturday.
• Saturday by the MOTH in Quenns Square. The ideal plac eto spot dozens of juvenile grunge merchants all "expressing their individuality" by looking exactly the same as each other. Get a mortgage and grow up or at least get out of the way of those of us that work for a living and don't want to be obstructed by pond life when we are out shopping.
• west park in wolverhampton on a hot day is a great place to try and pick some one up. i have lived there for several summers and i can say that this does work
• west park in wolverhampton is always buzzing on a saturday. It is crammed with Skaters, Punks & rocks. It is great everyone is really friendly, new people are always welcome. We keep the scene alive!
• art Gallery
• I have noticed that the guidlines on this page say you cant be prejudice towards people, so why are people being malicious towards young rockers who just want to hang around and have a laugh with there friends. Expressing indeviduality is not wrong, its better than being a sheep.
• The ventilation fans outside the Civic Hall. A definate for those fourteen year olds tempted by the lures of alcohol in the mid ninties. And hey you may have even gained a glimpse of such sublime band members from acts such as Sepultura , Slayer and local heroes of the time Dozer,who it seems have now lapsed into historical obscurity
• why do all grebos hang by the man on horse rain or shine?
• I think the best hook up spot in Wolverhampton has to be Fowlers park and Smestow st.The fitest lads and the best laughs ever!!!
• Queen Square everyone meets here if just to get a laugh at some of the oddballs
• MOTH is the place to hang.
• meet up outside macdonalds if your a bloke cos this is where all the fit pussy meet up,trust me!!!then go to the man on the horse and rip the shit out of the grebo freaks ,dumb ass mother fuckers piss me off!
• The man on the horse is bad, man!! Me and my m8s "Claw" n "Trigger Finger" go there all the time, we also like to sk8 and hook up with girls with multicoloured hair, its the biz!!
• I hook up @ t' Cheapside by all the lame SK8r's by t' Civic Centre. It's totally rad, my & my mens kick it wit' the ladies there all day long, man. C U there.
• McDonalds for all the trendy tossers that slag of rockers for no reason and think their hard. COME IN A MOSH PIT FOR 10 MINUTES U PUSSYS
• Queen's Square. A lot of Craig-David loving, Comprehensive-school-attending, poor-spelling idiots think that "greebos" hang out there and they are "not cool". Copying everything the television tells you is not cool... being an individual is not cool. So if you have a soul and you've never bought a CD that's been played on Radio 1... come and hang out in Queens Square where you can laugh at the mindless adidas-wearing townies who couldn't even differentiate 2X in a Maths exam.
• Man On The Horse (the Prince Albert statue in Queen's Square).
• home
• Queen Square, Mander Centre, Dudley Street
• If ur a lad looking for a classy non-grebo teenage girl in Wolverhampton, try costa coffee opposite the MOTH. me and my mates love it and we are x-tremely cool.
• Wolverhampton has to be a pile of shite. My mate De (generate) comes from there and all he`s an idiot. `Nuff said
• Rileys pool bar. It is full of youths with the occaisional serious pool player but most of the people are using it as a place to meet. It's a pub for the youth of Wolverhampton and it's where the more serious pool players can enjoy a few frames before joining Minnesota Fats, which is for over 18's. I should know as i am one of those youths.
• The man on the Horse is for Grebos go and laugh at them. Mike LLoyds is a hippy shop don't even think about going upstairs you'll get killed by the incense
• Saturday morning, around 12, loads of grungy 14 and 15 year olds meeting on the square opposite Barclays Bank.
• the best hook up spots have got to be either outside the art gallery, by the man on the horse or outside mike lloyds to laugh at kate the wench
• The man on the horse.....if you resemble any of the following....green hair, multiple body piercing, under 14, sad, dark and depressed
• Unfortunatly, Wolverhampton bus station at night gets a few undesirable groups - so always try to use the next bus stop out of town.
• YMCA Club in Penn
• Asda car park about 7pm.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
