About Lost Shore Loony Dook

Listed Under Outdoor Events / Family and Kids Events

1st January 2025
9.30am arrival for 10am splash!

Start ’25 on a high and get ‘fresh footing’ at Lost Shore – Europe’s largest wave pool. Join fellow revellers for the very first ever Lost Shore Loony Dook taking place at 10am.

There's a £5 registration fee (+ booking fee) for those who want to dook – this includes a hot drink (filter coffee, tea or kid’s hot chocolate). If you’re bringing friends or family who prefer to stay dry, please book them a free Supporter ticket.

Warm up in Canteen afterwards with a delicious hot breakfast, take the temperature up by booking a spot at Spear Sauna or bag yourself some further invigoration with a session on the Lost Shore wave.

If you want to start off the new year with a more serene moment, Michelle Denham therapists are on hand for treatments and massage. Or, join in at The Surfskate Academy on New Year's Day with a children's lesson at 2pm or an adult beginner lesson at 3pm! Places are limited so advance booking is advised.

Our Loony Dook kicks off our January wellbeing month at Lost Shore, where we're working with Rogue Village to host a selection of wellness activities including yoga, inspirational talks, wellbeing sessions with Dr Jamie Marshall - amongst other events still to be announced! These will all be listed on our What's On page and you can sign up to our newsletter to be the first to know.
