Beach Day with RSPB Minsmere
Celebrate the summer solstice with us on Sunday 21 June!
- Booking not needed
- Free event
We’ve teamed up with RSPB Minsmere to bring you and your family a jam-packed day on the beach, with fun games and solar-themed crafts to keep the whole family busy throughout the day.
Go beach-combing and see what you can create with our giant landscape art or challenge friends and family to a beach game, as you learn more about this special coastal habitat.
Make a whole day of it and bring your own picnic, or visit the café to stock up on supplies. We’ll also have plenty of ice creams to buy.
Throughout the day, you can also head to the terrace at RSPB Minsmere to join the team at DASH Astro for some solar observing – the perfect activity to do on the longest day of the year!
