Littlehampton Town Council invites families to visit Littlehampton Seafront on Thursday 6 August for a morning of seaside fun at the annual Sandcastle Competition!

This is a free event with a chance of winning prizes by wowing the judges with your award-winning sand sculptures. There are three age group categories to compete in which are under 5’s, over 5’s and 10+.

Bring down your buckets and spades and register from 9:30 in front of the Stage by the Sea before the competition commences at 10:30.

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.

Those with the most incredible sand creations will win prizes courtesy of local businesses including Bah Humbug Sweets, Spokes Cycles and the event sponsor, Harbour Park.

There will also be the chance to get water safety tips from the Coastguard and the RNLI and learn about the work of some Sussex maritime charities.

Speaking about the family-fun event Chair of the Community Resources Committee, Councillor Freddie Tandy, 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!”
