Buckets of Fun at the Herne Bay Sandcastle Competition

 This summer, Herne Bay’s beach becomes a canvas of creativity as the Sandcastle Competition returns on Wednesday 30th July and Wednesday 6th August, proudly hosted by Cain’s Amusements.

With age group heats for 3–5, 6–8, 9–11, and 12+, children and families are invited to take part in one of the town’s most charming seaside traditions. Entry is free, with competitions running throughout the afternoon and prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category.

As part of the Herne Bay Festival, the event is a celebration of local pride and creativity. We at Cain’s Amusements are thrilled to support this much-loved tradition and the fantastic volunteers who put so much care and hard work into making it happen. It’s a joy to give something back to the community that has always supported us.

Whether you’re building castles or just cheering from the sidelines, come down and join in the fun — right by the waves.
