Coastal Explorers

Led coastal activities · STEM on the shoreline

The East Yorkshire coast is one of the richest outdoor classrooms in the country — rockpools teeming with life, fossil beds laid down in the Cretaceous, wartime coastal defences, seabird colonies, and tidal systems to observe and predict. Coastal Explorers sessions choose from a range of led activities that connect directly to STEM — ecology, geology, engineering, biology — all done on the coastline itself, with a qualified teacher guiding every step.

Washed Up Crafts

Coastal craft workshops · Natural & found materials

The East Yorkshire coastline is a workshop in itself — driftwood, sea glass, shells, fossils, rope and pebbles all waiting to be turned into something beautiful. Washed Up Crafts are guided, hands-on craft workshops where participants make their own piece to take home, using natural and found materials collected from local beaches. Perfect for families, visiting groups, and anyone who wants to slow down and make something with their hands.
