People across Northern Ireland are being invited to take part in the creation of a sand art masterpiece at Ballygally Beach in Larne this weekend.
Sessions will be led by sand artist Gavin Wallace to create a huge installation celebrating the wildlife and habitats of the north’s iconic blue spaces.
The event will bring a close to Live Here Love Here’s Healthy Oceans Healthy Minds campaign, highlighting the impact of marine pollution and the important wellbeing benefits blue spaces bring to communities.
Lynda Surgenor, manager of Live Here Love Here, said she hopes people will come and support the event.
“It’s a chance to contribute to something special that will bring attention to the importance of our blue spaces,” she said.
“This year has been a great success, once again inspiring environmental stewardship and reconnecting people with the natural beauty of waterways and coasts across Northern Ireland.
“It’s important that we appreciate our waterways and the contribution they make to our overall well-being.”
The event will run on Saturday August 31 from 3pm - 6pm.
