A pop-up beach is coming to Sleaford Market Place from August 20, until September 4!
It’ll be open to the public throughout the two weeks that it’s there, with striped deckchairs to sit and chill on, and buckets and spades which can be picked up from Market Square Café and Restaurant.
Sleaford-on-Sea will be in full holiday vibes for a special Bank Holiday Weekend beach-themed event on Saturday, August 23. Take a trip to the ‘seaside’ for a family fun day or a chance to chill out with friends. Activities are taking place between 11am and 4pm. Here’s what to expect:
- Free Helter-Skelter rides
- Punch and Judy performances
- Free face painting with Face Painting by Felicity
- Seaside singing by Chelsey Bamford
- Bubbleologist
- Free crafts
- Teenage Market stalls
- 9-hole crazy golf via YARD PUTZ
Plus, visitors will get to witness a spectacular piece of art crafted out of sand, as a live sculpt takes place at the event from 11 am to 4pm. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the masterpiece of a sand-sculpted Red Arrow, paying homage to their base in Waddington, not far in Red Arrow terms from Sleaford.
Keep an eye out too for The Giant Seagulls, the cheeky over-sized comedy seabirds that’ll have you in a flap!
Fish and chips, ice creams and beach-side snacks and drinks will be available from nearby cafés, restaurants and eateries. Bobby’s Sweets in Bristol Arcade will be selling candy floss, popcorn and rock to add to the seaside feel.
The pop-up beach and beach event have been funded by the Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund as part of North Kesteven District Council’s Events Programme.
