Whale of a day set to make a splash in Sutton-on-Sea
Families are being invited to dive into a free day of environmental fun when a giant inflatable whale returns to Sutton-on-Sea this August.
The popular Whale of a Day event is back for a third year,with the 50ft (15-metre) inflatable whale taking centre stage on the beach.
The free family event aims to inspire visitors to learn more about the environment, protecting the oceans and the importance of looking after our seas.
Visitors will have the chance to step inside the huge inflatable whale, with free time slots available to book online through Eventbrite. The Seaview Colonnade will also be hosting craft activities during the day.
The event is supported by Arts Council England and the East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF), a £20 million scheme launched by East Lindsey District Council to help improve opportunities and quality of life across the district.
Whale of a Day forms part of the Story Tellers project, the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership’s Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation project, which celebrates arts, heritage and creativity across the area.
Councillor Graham Marsh, East Lindsey District Council’s representative on the Story Tellers Culture Board, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to learn more about our seas and ocean’s environment and ways to help protect our planet.
“I hope as many people as possible come along to enjoy this free family day at Sutton-on-Sea, supported by Arts Council England and East Lindsey District Council, through the Investment Fund.”
With a giant whale, creative activities and a focus on protecting the planet, organisers are hoping the event will once again prove a hit with families across Lincolnshire.
Whale of a Day takes place on Friday, August 7, with the 50ft (15-metre) inflatable whale taking centre stage on the beach from 10.30am until 4pm.
