The date you have all been waiting for …14th February 2015 ……no, not just Valentine’s Day but the renowned and much-loved Sandman Snowman event returns for the 9th year!!

So do please join us at 10.30am on Small Hope Beach at Shanklin and wow us with your creations – past years have seen the beach populated by mermaids, dolphins, dogs, sandmen, sand ladies and a whole array of other characters.

We’ll have some hot chocolate on hand to warm your chilly fingers and we’ll also provide the coal and carrots for your creations – you just need to bring a spade, the creative ideas and bags of enthusiasm! Donations to Gift to Nature welcome
