Folkestone Boxing Day Dip
Whether you are bravely participating or watching in awe the Lions Folkestone Hythe & District Lions Club’s Folkestone Boxing Day Dip at Sunny Sands has been an annual tradition for many years. As the dippers hit the water at full pelt, brave, fearsome, and slightly hysterical and come out wet, laughing, freezing and very, very happy, as they have achieved their aim, and raising funds for much-needed money for local charities. There are also crowds of people who love to watch and cheer them on. All entrants will receive a lovely bracelet (actually it’s just a paper wristband) to enter the sea and an even lovelier Medal of Honour on exiting the water. There is also the Mariners Fancy Dress competition that will be judged just before the daring dips. Read More
