A free programme for young people aged 11-18 (up to 25 for those with SEND) which encourages participation in culture and creativity through doing making and creating.
Come down to the Marina Centre to hang out and get involved with activities in the cafe and on the surrounding beach (weather permitting). There will be creative workshops, games, sports, circus, crafts and more - so there will be something for everyone. If you would rather bring your own thing to do or just chill with your friends, that is totally fine too.
No need to book - just turn up!
Coastal Environment and Upcycle Workshop
Edible East
Make a pin wheel or windmill using recycled plastic bottles, hand tools and wire with designer Adrian Draigo. As you watch it spin, and create a mass art installation, chat with Adrian about the renewable energy made from the wind turbines at Scroby Sands that you can see from Great Yarmouth Beach. Fit together the colourful tiles of the Bird's Eye Britain game to create an image of an island and have a chat about coastal environmental challenges.
