About this event

Join us for a guided walk along the beach at Filey as we discover the wildlife that lives in our rockpools today and compare it with locally-found fossils. If you love rockpooling and fossil hunting, this is the event for you!

Embrace your wild side - what to expect:

This event is suitable for adults and children. This event involves a 2-3 mile walk along the beach over sand and rocky shore. Children of all ages are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.

What to bring/wear

This event takes place outside so brace yourself for the Yorkshire weather! You will need sturdy, waterproof footwear or wellies to explore the rockpools and lots of layers. If it's a hot day remember to bring water, a hat and sun cream.
