The theme of the first day will be sand and stones. Bridlington’s north beach will be transformed with an artist’s showcase, drop-in workshops, and a family beach art challenge.

Visitors will see artists creating new work and will be able to get tips and advice about creating temporary art in nature, and to create their own art on the beach.

On the second day, the theme of the day will be land, with the venue shifting to Sewerby Hall and Gardens.

Visitors will also be able to join artists in the Gardens, for a range of activities including a woodland art trail, land art pick n mix and workshops. Standard admission charges apply for Sewerby Hall and Gardens.

Councillor Nick Coultish said: “This festival is one of a kind in the UK and the artists provide a creative showcase of the natural environment on our coastline.”
