Step back to the seaside and meet the women history forgot.
With British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter Paul Mancini
Long before beach huts lined the shore, lidos welcomed summer crowds, or swimming became a pastime for everyone, there were The Dippers. These remarkable working-class women spent season after season, in sunshine and storm alike, gently guiding bathers into the sea. Their resilience, care, and quiet determination made them an unforgettable part of Britain's seaside story.
Rooted in community and shaped by local voices, this is a show for everyone – curious children, seaside nostalgists, and anyone who has ever stood at the water’s edge and wondered.
Free to attend. No tickets required. Just turn up and be swept in.
