Seaweed & Their Secrets - Fulsam Rock, Margate 2026
About this Event
A great opportunity to find out all that you ever want to know about seaweed!
This walk & talk is led by seaweed expert Ian Tittley from the Natural History Museum and Kent Field Club on behalf of the Thanet Coast Project, and run as part of the One Ocean weekend at Turner Contemporary.
Thanet Coast’s chalk reef provides the perfect substrate for different algae communities within the designated North East Kent Marine Protected Area. Join this walk through rockpools and on the chalk reef to discover seaweed, their uses and properties on this outdoor talk.
These walks are suitable for people of 14 years and above, and last for about 2 hours walking over the ROUGH terrain on the beach and rocky shore. Please wear footwear suitable for the sand and rocky beach and walking in rock pools - such as Wellington Boots; and wear suitable clothing for the coastal weather condition on the day (raincoat/windproof - for rain/wind; layers to keep warm, if it is cold; or suntan lotion/hat/cover up to avoid sunburn, if sunny!)
Online bookings only as numbers will be limited - with a suggested donation of £5 to £10 per person.
PLEASE NOTE: Each booking is for one person only - so you will need to re-book for each person!
