About the event

As part of the ongoing community work in St Austell Bay, Cornwall Wildlife Trust are running a special event during National Marine Week 2024 - Porthpean Community Day. 

Join in on a host of FREE marine activities for all the family, learn more about our amazing seas and meet the incredible community groups in your area. 

We will be based at Porthpean Sailing Club with a host of stands from different organisations with marine arts and crafts. 

There is also a host of activities to get involved with for all the family, most of which you can simply turn up to and join in. However, a couple of sessions will require booking in advance.

12:30pm-1:30pm: Rockpool Ramble 

Join us on the rocky shore to search for everything from sensational seaweeds to cracking crabs!

Show us your creativity by taking part in this fun competition, creating works of art from things you find on the beach.
