Two pop-up beaches are coming to Lincolnshire for the summer holidays.<\/p>\n
Sleaford-on-Sea will return to the town’s market place from 25 July until 23 August.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Boston’s beach will take over Central Park from 14 July until 4 September.<\/p>\n
Both towns will also host a variety of free, family friendly activities, including helter-skelter rides, treasure hunts, fancy dress competitions and Punch and Judy shows.<\/p>\n
Visitors to the Sleaford-on-Sea beach can collect buckets, spades and deckchairs from the Market Square Cafe.<\/p>\n
In addition to the beach activities, there will be a family fun day on 8 August from 11:00 until 16:00 BST.<\/p>\n
The event will also feature community stalls from the Heart of Lincs, Cranwell Aviation Heritage Museum and the RNLI, alongside a market showcasing young traders.<\/p>\n
North Kesteven District Council leader Richard Wright said: “Not only will this be a great event for residents and visitors, but it will also boost the local economy and help Sleaford businesses to thrive.”<\/p>\n
A mini taster beach will also be transported to Heckington Show on 25 and 26 July.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Boston pop-up beach will host a series of free, themed events every Wednesday from 11:00 to 15:00 BST, offering nature trails, live music and circus performances.<\/p>\n
The full programme of events can be found on the Boston Borough Council website.<\/p>\n
Council leader Dale Broughton said the beach was a “fantastic way for families, residents and visitors to enjoy a free day out right here in Boston”.<\/p>\n
He added: “We’re looking forward to seeing families, friends and community groups making the most of the park and everything on offer this summer.”<\/p>\n
