Great Dorset Beach Clean at Shell Bay Studland
The Great Dorset Beach Clean is back for its 35th year! Join us at Shell Bay, Studland.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
National Trust Studland Bay is proud to be taking part in Litter Free Dorset’s Great Dorset Beach Clean, a fantastic event that has been helping to keep Dorset’s coastline clean for 35 years. This year’s beach clean runs from Saturday 5th to Sunday 13th April 2025, with events happening all along the Dorset coast. Our beach clean will take place on Sunday 13th April, and we’d love for you to join us! We’ll provide litter pickers and bin bags, but we recommend bringing your own gloves and wearing sensible footwear. If you already own your own litter picker, please bring it along and show us how it’s done! This free event is open to all, but under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. Come along, enjoy being in the great outdoors, and help us care for our beautiful coastline.
