the instructions of the beach marshalls on the tide line on the day for their own safety.

band and entertainment. Camping will be available nearby. Marazion is now plastic free, we at the gig club will be
supporting this initiative. So please ensure you bring bottles, we will have a water bottle refilling station throughout
the day for a small donation.
