Stormy Seashore Scavenger Hunt at Chesil
26 October 2025 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Join us for a guided Seashore Scavenger Hunt at Chesil to search for natural treasures that have washed up on the beach after the stormier weather. This family-friendly event is a great opportunity to discover more about what lives in the deeper waters, usually hidden from view, from slow-growing corals to eggcases of sharks and other marine species and who knows what else you might find?
This event is suitable for families. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
£4 per child. Accompanying adults go free, but are limited to a maximum of two per child.
BOOKING ESSENTIAL.
