Registration is Now OPEN for the Great Dorset Beach Clean 2026!

We’re thrilled to announce that registration is officially open for this year’s Great Dorset Beach Clean, running from 1st to 12th April 2026. 🌊💙 This much-loved annual event brings communities together to protect Dorset’s stunning coastline—and we’d love you to be part of it.

Last year was nothing short of inspiring. 297 amazing volunteers rolled up their sleeves, cleaned 17 beaches, and removed over 300kg of rubbish from our shores. From plastic pollution to forgotten fishing gear, every piece collected made a real difference for local wildlife, marine habitats, and everyone who loves Dorset’s beaches.

This year, we’re aiming to go even bigger—and that’s where you come in.

We are now looking for Beach Clean Leaders to help organise and run local beach cleans as part of the 2026 event. Whether you’re part of a community group, school, business, or just a passionate individual who loves their local beach, your support can help make this year’s Great Dorset Beach Clean the most impactful yet.

If you’re able to organise a beach clean during the event dates, please get in touch by emailing
📧 litterfreedorset@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk
and we’ll send you a registration form along with everything you need to get started.

Together, we can take action, protect our coastline, and show some serious love for Dorset’s beaches. Let’s make April 2026 one to remember. 💪🌍
