A drop in event at The Cut. Explore our virtual seashore and get ready for those summer trips to the seaside.
About the event
Find out about some of the fascinating creatures that live around our coast. We’ve ‘recreated’ a seashore for you to hunt shells, learn to identify beachcombing finds and explore all things seaside. Feel how smooth is a tropical cowrie shell, how spiky is a spider crab. Hear the sea in a whelk shell. Can you lift a whale vertebra? What exactly are those spongy looking things? Come and find out!
Ice cream is available in our shop for the whole seaside experience...

Limpets can raise themselves up on their foot to slam their conical shell down on a marauding starfish foot!
