Welcome to the Bonkers about Beach Huts podcast. The show all about beach huts Whether you are thinking of buying a beach hut and don’t know where to begin or if you have had a beach hut in your family for generations this podcast is for you. Across the country, I will be creating the UK's first beach hut map.  I will give tips on where and how to buy a beach hut. And share everything you need to know about beach hut maintenance plus advice on hiring a beach hut. There will be a new show every week. We will be chatting to special guests from estate agents to lock specialists, beach hut associations to beach hut builders, and artists to interior designers.  If you don’t own a beach hut but would love to or just love the coastal lifestyle, you can live vicariously through our podcast as I travel across the UK exploring these coastal retreats and sharing personal stories of how the humble beach hut has shaped lives. Beach huts are finally getting the appreciation they deserve, if you don’t know what all the fuss is about, join us every week and you too will be a little bit bonkers about beach huts.
