It’s time to start collecting oyster shells. It’s time to make your own glorious grotter. A Whitstable tradition everyone can enjoy.

Free event

Grotter building


Update
This year some 300 Grotters were built and the resultant ‘Glowing Grotters’ event was a beauty to behold in the glorious Whitstable sunset. Well done to all the children and many thanks to all the helpers who helped to distribute the oyster shells.

As quoted by TV’s Coast, “The tide came in overnight and washed all the Grotters away”. A special piece of Whitstable magic!
