The Big Spring Beach Clean: Greenbank Beach


The Big Spring Beach Clean: Greenbank Beach

The Greenbank Hotel and The Working Boat in collaboration with Sharp’s Brewery, are inviting everyone from the community and beyond to our bi-annual beach clean on Thursday 11th of April, from 2pm to 4pm on Greenbank beach, Falmouth, located just behind the hotel.


Sponsored by Rock-based Sharp’s Brewery’s Offshore Pilsner, participants over the age of 18 will receive a free pint of this refreshing pilsner at the end of the clean as a great big thanks for their efforts. The clean is a part of Surfers Against Sewage’s ‘Big Spring Beach Clean’ campaign which is the largest and most effective volunteer beach cleaning project in the UK.


Unlike many beach cleans around Cornwall – where you can find plastic bottles and thousands of nurdles, Greenbank Beach offers a wide range of objects! From tyres to wooden pallets, traffic cones to lighters and sardine tins, you’ll be amazed at what you can find.

From our understanding, these objects are from boats and shipwrecks along the harbourside, as well as the road adjacent.


Meeting at the pub on Thursday 11th April, the Greenbank Beach needs your helping hands. Join us from 11am-1pm as part of the biggest ‘Big Spring Beach Clean’ ever!
