2023 Beachcombing Summer Festival
The free Beachcombing Summer Festival, with talks from beachcombing experts, live chats, and more, is a great way to celebrate beachcombing season. Videos and presentations were made possible by our Festival Exhibitors (below), members of Beachcombing Club, and by our presenters who generously share their time to take us on their beachcombing adventures, share their expertise, and show some of their collections.

Summer Festival Presentations
You can watch video presentations from beachcombing experts. Each talk was followed by a live reception and Q&A session with presenters and the audience on Zoom. We will post videos of these in the coming weeks.
