Adventures… by the sea June 24, 2024

On the 12 October 2024, Girlguiding North West England will be taking over Southport for a fun filled day by the seaside. This event will be open to all sections across the region.

The event will begin at 9:45am with an estimated finish of 3.30pm. However, you are welcome to leave before this time once your group have finished their last activity.

Over the course of the day, groups will be participating in 5 different activities these can range from different types of sports, crafts, and some skills we hope girls will have never tried before. Due to the scale of the event, it will not be possible for groups to participate in every activity but we will ensure that you are allocated a varied selection.

As this is a unit event all girls will need to be accompanied by their leaders, ensuring ratios are followed. Each unit is required to provide their own first aid. You will also need to bring lunch and enough drinks to last the day.

Both girls and leaders are expected to be wearing uniform during the event.

Tickets cost £1.50 plus the Eventbrite fee. All attendees will need to purchase a ticket, including leaders.

Bookings will close Wednesday 11 September 9am.
