Story

We can’t wait to welcome you to the White Christmas Dip 2025!

So grab your fancy dress, pack your towels, and spread the word—there’s no better way to kick off Christmas Day! And don’t forget to tell everyone why we do it.

What began in 2008 with just a few brave souls has grown into one of the biggest and most beloved community events of the year. Thousands now gather—dippers and spectators alike—for a morning full of fun, laughter, and festive spirit.

This isn’t just a dip in the sea. It’s a celebration of community, a tradition that brings people together, and most importantly, a powerful way to support our local hospice, Macmillan Caring Locally.

We want everyone who joins us to have the best time—but we need your support. Your donations are vital to help this event grow and to continue providing exceptional end-of-life care both at the hospice and in patients’ homes.

Ask your friends, rally your family, and help us help Macmillan Caring Locally.

Together, we can help patients live fully until the end, create lasting memories for their loved ones, and ensure that everyone matters—right to the very end.
