A simple, safe build sequence that keeps the trifle in the actual landscape and avoids unnecessary construction.

1

Prepare bunker

Clear, level and mark the sand bunker beside the former lifeguard tower.

2

Install tarp

Lay heavy-duty food-safe tarp, overlap seams and secure with sandbags.

3

Layer trifle

Add jelly, sponge, custard, cream, fruit and toppings in controlled batches.

4

Raise money

Open public viewing, collect donations and serve portions safely from stations.
