Stormy Stan, from Hunstanton's volunteer RNLI crew, will be pulling on his yellow wellies for the town's annual sandcastle competition on Thursday, 3 August.

He's inviting youngsters, along with mums and dads, to the beach by the boathouse off Sea Lane, at Old Hunstanton, at 1.30pm.

"I'll be there to help out with a few tips as long as I don't get called out on a shout," he said.

"Now, one of the first things you'll probably notice is we've got plenty of sand on the beach.

"You want to make sure you choose the right sort of sand, not too wet, not too dry - and give it a good old pat with your spade before tip it out of the bucket."

Entry costs �1 and there'll be vouchers to spend in the RNLI station shop for the winners.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Price: Entry �1 only

Location: Old Hunstanton Beach, Norfolk Coast
