Come along and join us for a fun afternoon of treasure hunting and beach cleaning! This is a family-friendly event, although everyone is welcome. The MCS beach treasure hunt will take place first (15:30 - 16:00pm) followed by an MCS beach clean and litter survey (16:00 - 17:00pm). You are more than welcome to join for part, or all, of this event.

Please bring your own gloves and litter picker if you have them, but don't worry if you don't - all equipment will be available for you to borrow on the day. 

All children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Hope to see you there!

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser.
