East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Active Coast team has put together a varied programme of events and activities at several coastal locations for the summer holidays.
Active Coast is the council’s popular programme for residents and visitors to explore and enjoy life in the East Riding.
This summer’s programme will offer fun and creative activities on the beach; adapted cycling; coastal exploration; beach yoga; Bushcraft; fossil hunting; outdoor theatre; and more!

“A sure sign that summer is here is the return of Active Coast, and once again, this is a great programme, with something for everybody!”
