Heath Week Pop Up at Shell Bay

Celebrate Heath Week 2025 with us at Shell Bay.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

We’re teaming up with other conservation charities for a fun-filled pop-up event—packed with games, nature activities, and wild discoveries.

We will be joined by Dorset Heaths Partnership, Butterfly Conservation and Amphibian and Reptile Conservation.

Explore heathland wildlife and plants, join in crafts, activities and games and meet the people looking after our local wildlife.

There will be a heathland art trail that you can follow from Knoll Beach to Shell Bay on foot to join in the fun. The walk will take around an hour and follows the heather trail route, starting from the back of the accessible carpark.
