Elephant Dip 2023

This year’s 2wish Elephant Dip was our biggest yet! As more than 200 enthusiastic dippers gathered at Coppet Hall Beach, at Hean Castle Estate on October 22nd, to courageously take on our annual cold-water dip.

A highlight on the 2wish calendar, the Elephant Dip not only unites our cherished families, friends, and loyal supporters, but also promises a revitalizing plunge into the sea, accompanied by a morning filled with fun, music, and joy. Despite the relentless downpour, the event radiated an overwhelming sense of unity and positivity, leaving a lasting impression on all who participated.

We are extremely grateful for everyone that attended…

The event is growing every year and to see so many people, enjoying themselves, all for a good cause was amazing.I have never seen so many tutus and elephant ears, people made such an effort… 2wish supports families across Wales and to be able to host an event like this in beautiful Pembrokeshire is wonderful.Thank you to those who braved the chilly water and to those who fundraisers too. An amazing amount raised which will help so many. Love and thanks as always Rhian xx

This exceptional day wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our esteemed contributors. Our dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth execution of the event. A special thanks to our sponsors, Pembrokeshire Properties and Country Living Group, whose generous contributions were instrumental in covering the necessary running costs. South Wales Water Safety, Saundersfoot Rotary Club, Saundersfoot Sailing Club, and MERTS played integral roles in guaranteeing the safety and enjoyment of all participants during the Elephant Dip.

We extend our gratitude to Kiosk Cafe Coppet Hall for generously providing refreshments for all dippers. And to Valero Refinery Pembroke, who not only provided electricity but also volunteered their time at the event.
