Well… what can we say?! 💙
The CROYDE 2026 NEW YEARS DAY FANCY DRESS DIP was an absolute explosion of colour on the beach! You all went above and beyond with your costumes….from Superman and Superwoman to Ninja Turtles, Mermaids, Angels and even a flock of SEA-gals 🐦🌊
The atmosphere was buzzing as everyone came together to raise funds for Wave Project, Access For All and The Bluetits Chill Swimmers. Thank you so much for your generosity…your support will truly help make a difference 💙
A huge thank you to John Fowler Holiday Parks for supporting the event and allowing us to use the beach for our festive dip 🥳
We couldn’t have done it without our brilliant compère Ben Byrom, the amazing team from Baggy Bluetits Cold Water Swimmers 💙 and topless marathon runner Louise Bernadette Butcher for getting us all warmed up and stretched out pre our chilly dip 🥶
Big thanks also to all at Thatch Croyde, SaltrockSoul, The Manor Croyde, The Beach Hut, Ralphs Surf Shop, King's Arms Georgeham and Rock Inn for kindly donating prizes for our best dressed, and to Earth Action North Devon for providing litter pickers and bags to help keep our beach clean 🌍
It was so heart-warming to see everyone come together on the beach, embracing the thrill of the chill and cheering each other on. The biggest thank you of all goes to everyone who joined in…..you kickstarted 2026 with laughter and joy and long may it continue 🤩
