About the event

SeaFest is a celebration of the sea and the amazing variety of creatures that live there. 

Join us for scavenger hunts, rockpooling, arts and crafts, and more! We will of course be holding our annual sand sculpture competition. 

Tickets for this should be booked in advance at Sand Sculpture Competition Tickets, Sat, Aug 2, 2025 at 10:00 AM | Eventbrite and a £3 donation per entry is requested. 

The festival itself is a drop-in event so you can turn up any time between 10 - 4 without booking. However, if you would like to receive a reminder of this festival a few days in advance, please book tickets above.

Dogs

On a lead

Please do not bring dogs to the mobile rockpool, as they can harm and scare the rockpool creatures, and make sure your dog is kept under control and on a short lead at all other activities.

Wheelchair access

The stalls will be pitched on grass, so mobility aids will need to cope with soft even ground. If you are unable to reach the stalls, we can bring activities to you- just ask at the registration tent

What to bring

Make sure you check the weather before coming out and dress appropriately, as it can be very exposed on the beach. This could mean waterproofs and warm clothes, or suncream and sunhats. Either way bring plenty of water and snacks.
