TEA HUT Update -

To all of my lovely customers. I am very sorry for the recent closure. Unfortunately as many of you will be aware, my Dad recently passed away.
I was hoping to be back open this week, however our lovely dog (Rusty) is currently very unwell and has been needing around the clock care.
As you know, I am mainly a ‘one woman band’ in the tea hut, so it means it will remain shut for a little longer. All being well you should see me for the start of half term 23rd May, when I will have my lovely staff available to help me.

See you all soon for a much needed cuppa/ coffee and a good old chat…

Thanks, Abby 🫶

**The Beach concession remains open on fair weather days. 🏖️

🪸 Isle of Wight rockpool safari dates are now available for the summer! From May to August we’ll be running guided safaris across the island’s intertidal zone from Freshwater Bay to Castle Cove and Bembridge Ledges!

We’ve now recorded close to 200 island marine species across our sessions to date, from sea slugs and catsharks to hairy hermit crabs and lobsters! Summer is the key time of year to head out into our intertidal zone to discover and learn more about the beautiful marine biodiversity we live alongside on the Isle of Wight, and hopefully we can boost these records even further!
