About the event

Everything that the sea washes ashore has a story to tell. What is it? Where has it come from? How did it get here? Join us at Kimmeridge for a guided beachcombing event to search for and discover the stories behind some of our more common and unusual beach treasures. Unlock the mysteries of what a mermaid keeps in her purse, or why some seashells have tiny holes drilled through them.

This event is weather dependent.
