“The event has been commissioned to bring the historic Guildhall Square back to life. We’ve a series of events planned over the coming year for the square and Street Games is the first on the schedule.” — John Sackett, Strategic Events Planner at Big Adventures.

Extreme sports enthusiasts, BMX riders, skaters, free runners, and street artists came together to create a vibrant family-friendly event amongst the urban backdrop of the Guildhall Square.

The event featured a range of local acts of national and international repute such as free runner Mitch Lee, one of the UK’s leading mountain bike display riders Chris Doney, and Effraim Catlow, BMX flatlander king from Southsea Skatepark.

Team Locals helped to document the 1st ever Portsmouth Street Games, a colaberation event between The Portsmouth Cultural Trust and Big Adventures.

During the event the team used a number of mediums including fast photography to capture the visually stunning street sports, mobile devices to share and promote the event on social media live, and video to document the event for future publishing and marketing.

Using Twitter, Facebook Pages App and Instagram we live blogged the event to the attending public and potential attendees who may not have been aware of the event locally and nationally. Using hashtags on all three platforms allowed the team to connect to relevent communities and promote further sharablity.

A news article was also created via www.teamlocals.co.uk after day 1 of Street Games. This featured a review and photography showcasing the event and was distributed via Google News to the Global News network.
