LowTide

Celebrate One Tide on One Day around One World because... We All Live Downstream

LowTide is a free annual inter-tidal festival. Our aim is to offer people the opportunity to explore and celebrate local inter-tidal sites and other aspects of the sea under expert guidance, using a combination of art and science.

• LowTide is held every year on the Saturday in May with the lowest tide
  
  
• Since 1995, individuals and community groups all over the world have been joining forces to put on Dicovery Walks and EcoFayres
  
  
• Discovery Walks are interdisciplinary walks into inter-tidal areas, led by one or more experienced guides
  
  
• EcoFayres are larger, all day events offering a range of activities such as interactive exhibitions, environmental games, touch tanks, art activities, storytelling, displays, aquaria, parades, video animation and more. The target audience is children aged 7-12, and their parents or guardians
