You’ll be joined by the giant human fish himself… Oly Rush! And he’s bringing along the famous Percy the Plesiosaur too.
Oly is the founder of Project Planet Earth—and he’s basically a big kid, just like you! He LOVES keeping our beaches clean and making it fun at the same time.
And get this…
Oly is a real-life swimming superhero:
He once swam all the way around Grand Cayman Island—it took him 36 hours non-stop!
He smashed the world record for swimming around the entire Isle of Wight, doing it in just 15 hours (the old record was 26 hours!) That’s like swimming for two whole school days without stopping!
So when Oly’s leading this beach clean—you know it’s going to be full of fun, energy, and probably a bit of splashing too.
Come along, help keep our beaches clean, and meet one of Purbeck’s very own heroes!
Come on over between 10:30 am and 3pm to join in the kids activities.
Search through the sand table for the lost characters, do a beach scavenger hunt, check out some cool beach finds and of course, meet Percy, a dinosaur made from beach clean plastics! There will be a big beach clean at 12:30pm, so come and grab some gloves and pickers with us as we take a walk along the beach and dunes.

We are running a poster competition for schools in Purbeck, with prizes for different year groups. Get out the pens and paper and get creative!
