Community Groups

The overall aim of the OCT Community Engagement Programme is to work with a wide range of local communities to develop understanding and appreciation of our Ocean environment ultimately leading to positive behaviour changes and Ocean optimism.

You are eligible for a community group booking rate if you are one of the following:

• a registered charity
• a uniform group e.g. Scouts, guides, sea scouts etc,
• a registered community or local interest group
• human health & mental and physical wellbeing organisation

All groups must be able to provide proof of registration on arrival.

Aquarium visits give your group a fun, accessible way to explore ocean life up close, offering engaging, hands-on experiences for all.

Community Aquarium Visits

We know visiting our conservation aquarium isn’t always possible, so we created our Community Outreach Programme for Ocean fun brought to you.

OCT in your Community

Our Blue Mind Hub is an Ocean-based wellbeing project which aims to help people in our community access the health benefits of the Ocean!
