Summer solstice evening walk

Celebrate the longest day of the year with an early evening visit to Sandilands. Bring along your favourite people, a picnic tea, and take in the fresh sea air as the sun begins to lower over Lincolnshire.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

You’re welcome to bring a blanket and find a quiet spot to enjoy a picnic, or pick up a bite from the Dough & Barley kiosk (open until 6pm).

Then, join us at 6.30pm for a gentle walk through the nature reserve. While the landscape is still taking shape, this is a chance to find out more about our long-term plans for the site and how it will grow over the coming years.

It’s a relaxed way to spend a summer evening, unwind, stretch your legs, and connect with nature as we mark this seasonal turning point together.
