About

FOLLOW THE TRAIL! 25TH JUNE-5TH SEPTEMBER 2021.

Octopus Ahoy! is an engaging, FREE family-friendly art trail for all to enjoy. Stunning sculptures will arrive ashore on 25th June, taking pride of place in parks, on streets and in open spaces across Tendring and beyond.

This fun summer activity is a chance to visit amazing artist creations, so why not become a ‘tourist in your own town’, get your step count up in the fresh air, and earn ‘ink-credible’ rewards?

Follow the trail throughout the summer using the FREE Octopus Ahoy! app, which is available for download now on both Apple and Android. The app reveals the locations of each sculpture and allows users to earn amazing rewards – from cuddly octopus keyrings to free afternoon teas!

Octopus Ahoy!, in partnership with Tendring District Council, is being delivered as part of the celebrations of 150 Years of Clacton and the Mayflower 400™️, by KAT Marketing.
