WELCOME TO SANDWORLD
Open daily 31st March - 3rd November 2012 - COME AND SEE US!
The Theme this year at Sandworld is Ancient Greece and The Olympics, with additional sculptures being created to celebrate events throughout the season, such as the Queens Diamond Jubilee.
Top international sculptors have already been busy creating their masterpieces. Completed works include a dramatic depiction of the hero Heracles (Hercules) and four of his Labors, the Gorgon Medusa with snakes for hair pursued by Perseus, and a stunning portrayal of Icarus with his wings of feathers and wax who flew too close to the sun.
Further works will be added to the site from time to time throughout the season, and you may be lucky enough to see their work in progress.
As always, the main displays are under cover in the main marquee, which also houses our cafe and sand art area. The cafe serves hot and cold drinks and snacks, and the sand art area provides the opportunity to fill shaped bottles with coloured sand, and decorate sand art cards, at additional cost.
Outside, we have further sculptures and works in progress, with a giant sandpit where visitors are encouraged to have a go at creating their own masterpiece having been inspired by what they have seen.
This year, we have introduced a very popular season ticket for families and individuals, and return tickets for weekly visitors at discounted rates.
