Living Seas Centre

The Living Seas Centre has been undergoing a change!

The Living Seas Centre is our marine education hub, located right on the coast, where we inspire and enthuse people about the wonderful marine life we find off the Yorkshire coast. We're based at South Landing, Flamborough.

We are currently open for pre-booked events, school visits, community group visits, café and toilet facilities.

We are delighted to say the centre is now open for pre-booked events, such as seaglass crafts, seaweed pressing and soap making, as well as acting as the meeting point for our wonderful Seashore Safaris and beach cleans at South Landing.

We are also offering school visits to the Living Seas Centre for students of all ages. There are four curriculum-linked sessions available which cover topics in biology, geography, and human impacts on the environment: Seashore Safari, Seashore Sampling, The Sea and Me, and Changing Coastlines.

We are fortunate to have some incredible wildlife viewing opportunities at Flamborough, with accessible shores for a rockpool ramble or the possibility of spotting a seal or dolphin passing by. When visiting, always remember to look both up and down as the area is also known for its bird migration with all sorts of exciting rarities turning up!

They are open every Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday 10am - 2pm and Thursday, Friday and Saturday 10am - 4pm.

The activities were engaging and fun, yet educational at the same time. It was great to see the awe and wonder in the children's faces as they discovered new creatures in the rockpools.
