Active Coast, the council’s popular programme for residents and visitors to explore and enjoy life in the East Riding, has organised free beach art sessions along the coast this April to help people try something new.

Beach Art with James Brunt will take place in Hornsea this month, where visitors can join James in a beach art project and try their hand at stone stacking and/or sand drawing.

On Saturday, 30 April there will be a session from 10am-12noon and from 1-3pm at Hornsea beach next to the rail trail marker post.

Councillor Mike Medini, portfolio holder for cultural and leisure assets at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Active Coast has been very popular in previous years and always offers a great way to improve your health and wellbeing, whether it be sand art work, volleyball or yoga.

“I have no doubt there will be many more fun and interesting activities to take part in and I hope that lots of adults and families will want to take part again this year.” 

James will be on the beach throughout the day to help and guide people during the art session.

The events are free and visitors are encouraged to drop in at any point in the day.
