Join us on Saturday 25 July for a family fun day on Northey Island, as we celebrate the launch of Jetty, a new art installation that looks out over the precious saltmarsh. 

Take a tour of the island with one of our rangers, find out what it’s really like to be an archaeologist as you search for finds in the sand trays and help us look for wildlife – as a haven for wildlife on the Blackwater Estuary, there’s plenty to see! 
 
Challenge friends and family to a lawn game, paint with plants and hear a talk by Sara Hayes to discover how rising sea levels inspired her to create a new piece of art. 

The event is free but booking is required.  

The island will open to guests from 14:00, with several activities available. A welcome talk and the Jetty launch will take place at the art installation at 14:30. Walking tours of the island (to be booked on arrival) will take place at 14.50, 15.10, 15.30, 16.00 and 16.20. We ask that all guests arrive by 15:00. 

Please note: Parking will be available in the farmyard of South House Farm (CM9 6PP or what3words ///archive.diets.glue) and will involve a scenic 1.9km walk over the historic causeway before discovering Northey’s hidden track to the event site in the gardens of Northey House.

Bring a picnic and enjoy an afternoon of family fun at Northey Island.
