Summer by the Seaside - a series of creative family events promoting mindfulness and well-being

Take some inspiration from the Anstruther seaside and our By the Seaside exhibition to make your own windmills and then take them out to the beach to spin in the wind. You can also let us see how your ideal day by the sea looks by creating some seaside-inspired pictures..

At our family craft stations, build your own toy windmill and create your seascape with our craft materials.

We all love a trip to the seaside, so what does your ideal day by the sea look like?

11 am - 12 pm or 1 - 2 pm, 30th July 2021

Entry by Donation. Book online via Eventbrite

If you have any questions ahead of booking or attending the event please contact andrea@scotfishmuseum.org. Each ticket is for a family of up to 4 people from 1 household/bubble.
