Join the Marine Conservation Society during the Great British Beach Clean at Musselburgh!

All equipment you need will be provided including gloves, litter pickers, bags, clipboards & surveys. We will be on the beach so please wear sturdy, comfortable footwear and weather approriate clothing.

There are public toilets available at Fisherrow Harbour.

Also worth knowing…

What to bring: We’d recommend you pack a rucksack with a few essentials like sunscreen, waterproofs, hand sanitiser, and perhaps some snacks and a drink (in a reusable bottle, of course).

What to wear: If you're picking up litter with your hands it's worth wearing a strong pair of gloves - like gardening gloves - just to make sure you're protected. Sturdy shoes are a must for protection too.

Under 16s: To comply with our insurance, volunteers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult who will be asked to sign a parental / guardian consent form on the day by the beach clean organiser. 

18 spaces remaining - join us on the beach whilst there’s still spaces!
