You will then be able to enter the park without charge. Please then make your way to the beach car parks and come and find us on the beach. Please email daniel.snaith@keepwalestidy.org beforehand if you are coming and how many people are coming with you. This is just so we can get an idea of how much equipment to bring along.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MEETING POINTS ARE WHERE THE ARROW IS POINTING, NOT POINT A.

All (unless otherwise stated) are welcome to join the above events. You are welcome to stay for the duration or any time you can give will be greatly received. For all day events, please bring lunch as we don’t provide this, and the work locations are often not near food outlets / shops.

If you arrive after the designated start time, please ring 07824 504805 when you arrive in case we have moved on to a different part of the site, or come and look for us.

Children under 16 should be accompanied by an adult.

You are covered under Keep Wales Tidy’s insurance while at these events.

Please dress sensibly to suit the weather conditions on the day. Suitable footwear should be worn also (not sandals / flip flops, formal shoes); safety boots are ideal, but anything fairly rugged will be acceptable.
