Event details

Competitors can enter either individually or in a group within their age category and their wonderful creations can only be made using natural resources and certainly no polluting materials such as plastic and glitter.

Bring down your buckets and spades and register from 9:30 in front of the Stage by the Sea before the competition commences at 10:30. Register to receive a free bucket, however, make sure to arrive early as buckets are given on a first come first serve basis!

This event is sponsored by Harbour Park.
