The events, being hosted by Natural England, will take place at the Marina Centre on Sunday, September 24, from 10am to 4pm.    

Suitable for people of all ages and abilities, the events will include a variety of free activities such as seaside story telling, local music, circus skills, learning about local fossils, wildlife and history, a nature walk, a puppet show and a climbing wall. 

There will also be an opportunity to discover the unique Beach of Dreams flags.

The Beach of Dreams began in 2021 as a 500-mile walk over 35 days along the east coast of England, where local communities travelled with 500 silk pennants, each conveying people's hopes for the future.

The 500 silk pennants will be displayed to the public during the weekend celebrations.
