Celebrating 10 years of blue flag status on Hayling Island!

Hayling Island has been awarded the prestigious blue flag status for the 10th year running.

The stretch of beach from the fun fair to the border of the golf course has been awarded the flag by the Keep Britain Tidy campaign. The award recognises clean and safe stretches of coastline that promote environmental education and offer excellent visitor facilities.

To celebrate the achievement, Havant Borough Council is hosting a community event on Saturday 14th August 10:00am to 2:00pm.

There will be a themed walk along the sea front and a variety of attractions and information stands focusing on health and physical activity. So why not come along and join in the fun and don't forget to wear something

blue!

Times of the walks are:

11:00am - Short walk ideal for buggies and wheelchairs

12:00pm - Longer walk along the beach

Directions to the event: Take Manor road all the way down to the seafront on Hayling Island and when you reach Funland Amusement Park turn right at the roundabout and you will see the event on your right! Parking is next to the event in a public pay and display car park.

The postcode nearest to the event is PO11 0AG (Tourist Information Centre)
