A map showing the Cold Knap Beach - Marine Lake beach stretch plotted on it

Let's clean up Cold Knap! This will take place across the 100m stretch that runs parallel to the marine lake. 

If we're blessed with good summer weather, then please do remember to bring water, sunscreen and a hat - the usual. There's no rush or expectation to participate for the full time, particularly if the weather is too hot or too wet! 

As this is a pebble beach, be mindful of your footwear! 

This will be a 16+ event. 

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. 

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