Shoreline Coastal Exhibition

Over the last eight months, Creative Stranraer has been delivering Shorelines, a project rooted in coastal identity, pride and belonging. As the programme draws to a close, we’re celebrating local artists and makers whose work reflects these themes.

Pop into the Hub throughout March to view the amazing work on display.

Beach School
2026-03-14 12:00 - 14:00 | Agnew Park, Stranraer, DG9 7JZ, United Kingdom
Join us for Shorelines Beach School at Agnew Park Beach, a family-friendly afternoon of coastal exploration and outdoor learning.

This session invites young explorers and their families to discover the treasures of our shoreline through guided beachcombing, searching for shells, sea glass and natural materials along the sand.

Alongside this, take part in interactive outdoor education games exploring the important role seagrass plays in our coastal ecosystem, learning how it supports marine life, protects our shoreline and helps keep our seas healthy.

A fun, hands-on way to connect with nature, creativity and our shared coastal environment.

Shorelines Open Mic
2026-03-22 15:00 - 18:00 | The Shoreline, North Strand Street, Stranraer, DG9 7SB, United Kingdom
Join us at The Shoreline, Stranraer for a special Shorelines Open Mic celebrating creativity inspired by our coast.

The afternoon will begin with performances of original songs and poems created as part of the Shorelines programme — work developed over the past eight months exploring coastal identity, memory and belonging in Stranraer.

Following this featured set, the stage will open to the wider community. Whether you’re a singer, poet, storyteller, musician or simply have something to share, we warmly invite you to take part. Group and solo performances are welcome.

Come along to listen, perform, and celebrate the voices and creativity that continue to shape our shoreline.
