About

Youth charity, The Pioneer Club, has been a community hub since 1941. Home to the UK’s oldest indoor skatepark and a renowned live music venue, it’s hosted legendary acts like The Zombies, Motörhead and Enter Shikari, plus up-and-coming local bands and regular alternative 80s and indie nights. A flexible space with capacity from up to 400 people and a licensed bar, it’s perfect to hire for your event. A place for learning we offer a diverse range of classes, events and activities across performing arts and music alongside skateboarding lessons for kids and adults. Proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and St Albans’ Home of Alternative Culture, we support local young people, fostering creativity, inclusivity and community engagement.
