Littlehampton’s Sandcastle Competition to return - here's all you need to know
Littlehampton’s annual Sandcastle Competition returns next month.
The free family event takes place on the seafront on Thursday, August 6.
Participants who build ‘the most incredible’ creations will win prizes from local businesses Bah Humbug Sweets, Spokes Cycles and Harbour Park, according to Littlehampton Town Council (LTC).
There are three age group categories to compete in, including under 5s, over 5s and 10+.
An LTC spokesperson said: “Bring down your buckets and spades and register from 9.30am in front of the Stage by the Sea before the competition commences at 10.30am.
“Competitors can enter either individually or in a group within their age category and their wonderful creations can only be made using natural resources and certainly no polluting materials such as plastic and glitter.”
There will also be the chance to learn about the work of the Coastguard and the RNLI who will be providing safety tips.
Councillor Freddie Tandy, chair of the community resources committee, said: “The seafront is one of the town’s most valuable treasures, with East Beach serving as an ideal spot for a day out full of seaside activities.
"This event consistently attracts a large crowd and it’s great to see so many families coming down to participate in our annual sandcastle competition.
"We love seeing the imagination on display and all the different things that people create!”
