Families

Know before you go

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. We won't be serving food at the festival, but there is a cafe on the beach which serves hot and cold food, and the RNLI station will be selling teas and coffees.
