About us
Who we are
Clevedon Marine Lake is owned by North Somerset Council and leased to and run by MARLENS (Marine Lake Enthusiasts). MARLENS is a charity who rely on donations and the fees paid by lake users. The Marine Lake was built in 1929. It later fell into disrepair and a major project was undertaken in 2015 to make it fit for purpose for use as a recreational facility. Since then the lake has proved a huge success - both in terms of the range of users who derive huge benefit (swimmers, sailors, model boat users, SUPs etc) and the role it plays as part of Clevedon's historic seafront enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of local people and tourists each year.
Our culture and values
MARLENS' charitable purpose is to provide recreational facilities to benefit people's wellbeing especially those more in need because of their age, a disability, financial hardship or social circumstances. It aims to help the lives of young people in particular and to secure, preserve, protect, develop and improve the features of historic or public interest in relation to Clevedon Marine Lake and its surrounding area.
