Overview

Come along to enjoy the wonderful world of shells. You will be amazed at the exciting variety of shapes, colours and habitats that will be on display. Talk to the experts and ask about your own shell collections. There are lots of opportunities to buy shells from our market tables or you could enter our raffles to win spectacular prizes. There are shell-related activities provided for the kids so that you can peruse the exhibits or shell library at your own pace. Just across Charles Street is Red Rooster for lunch.
