We are back with our Beach Art event for 2025 - and this year there is even more to do… and it’s held in Summer rather than Autumn, so fingers crossed for good weather!
Everyone welcome - let’s celebrate and enjoy the natural world around us by making temporary yet meaningful artistic expressions on the beach, carefully using what is there - shells, drift wood, pebbles, seaweed… even beach litter!
What will you create… A sea monster? A mermaid? Or something completely random and abstract. Anything is possible.
Come along by yourself or work together as a family or group of friends and see what you can make.
This year we are holding our event after the Green Britain Foundation Beach Clean - you can join in with that at 1:30pm and help make a difference with them…. and then after that with us, from 3:30pm, create your MAC-CAN beach art!
At the end of the activity we will have all the creations on show; during their creation we will be taking photos and hopefully they will be captured from above using a drone also. We will have two local ladies who are well-known and passionate about the care of the oceans and seashore judging the creations, with the chosen winners being gifted an environmentally-themed gift.
If any items of beach art you have made has been made using beach litter, please dismantle the piece and collect this up at the end to dispose of it responsibly. Anything else which is natural and has come from the beach can be left for the beach.
Afterwards everyone is welcome to come back to the nearby community space on Main Street ‘Number 12’ from 5:30pm for refreshments (pay as you feel donations welcome) and an informative climate conversation, with a talk about Fish Net Zero.
Photographs of each beach art creation will be displayed early next year at our second event Create for Climate Art Exhibition, so please pop back for that if you can to be reminded of what you made - or for those that didn’t make it along, come and see what folks did!
