SeaFest returns to St Bees next month.
The annual celebration of the sea and its wildlife will take place on the village’s beach on Saturday August 2 from 10am to 4pm.
It will include guided rockpooling, beach games, watersports tasters, sand art by Simon Wheatley, performances by the La’al Arts Collective, sea shanties and a scavenger hunt.
The popular sand sculpture competition will also be held from 10am.
SeaFest organiser Yolanda Aze, community engagement officer with Cumbria Wildlife Trust, said: “Come and join us for a whole range of beach and sea-themed activities.
“Whether you want to express your creative side with a sand sculpture or discover more about the secretive world of underwater critters found in our rockpools, there’s something for everyone!
“The Irish Sea is very special – some may think of it as brown and lifeless, but it’s far from that! Come along and be amazed at the variety of wildlife found on our Cumbrian coast.”
