What can we expect from this episode
Jay and Laura explore the coast in search of the most unique beach shacks, where they find that the decor is as eclectic as the shack’s owners. After meeting a fellow craftsman in Norfolk who has built an incredible multicoloured patchwork hut out of driftwood, Jay travels to Herne Bay, where he attends a wedding at a one-of-a-kind beach hut on the pier. After a trip back in time to the 1940s in Hampshire, Laura travels to Essex to meet the beach hut owner who has inspired her. Laura’s first beach hut hunt comes to a close in Hastings, where she learns that the town’s three-story Victorian ‘net shops’ have served as the hub of this community for 200 years. There are five incredible shelters in the running for the title of “Best in Britain.”
Britain’s Best Beach Huts sees craftsman Jay Blades and interior design fanatic Laura Jackson hunting for the most unexpected gems across Britain’s coastline.
These beautiful little buildings are a staple of the British seaside and with more than 20,000 of them dotted across our coastline and clifftops, their variety is as staggering as their number. Each week Jay and Laura battle it out to see who can find the ultimate beach hut on a specific theme, from 1940s time capsules to double-decker luxury. The duo find themselves in the country’s most stunning and far-flung locations in a series that celebrates the wonders of our coastline and its residents with a surprise behind every door.
