Organisers reveal new theme for Nottingham Beach as dates confirmed
Not long to wait! Oh, and the beach will be bigger than ever before
This summer’s Nottingham Beach is set to bring the essence of Greece to Old Market Square with a brand new Santorini theme.
Visitors to the event will be able to Embrace the Santorini vibe with hearty Greek gyros or a cocktail from the new tropical-themed bar.
Organisers Mellors Group have confirmed that the beach will be open from Wednesday, July 17 to Sunday, September 1.
Beach-goers will be able to enjoy attractions including a giant slide, bungee trampolines and starflyer ride.
Those not interested in the thrill-seeker side of things can enjoy a busy entertainment schedule, featuring live music, salsa dance nights and movie nights.
The free-to-use beach and pool area, where residents can escape the summer heat when it does eventually arrive, will be bigger and better than ever before.
The beach area will be open until 8pm each evening, while the pool will close at 7pm.
All rides can be paid for on-site, with vendors accepting both cash and card.
Event organiser James Mellors said: "We are delighted to bring back Nottingham Beach to the city centre.
“This year, we’ve increased the size of the beach and pool area, rethemed the Beach Bar, and added more rides and attractions to give visitors even more variety.
“Nottingham Beach remains one of the city’s best free summer attractions, and we’re proud to support the community by providing an affordable activity to enjoy during this time of year.
“Now, let’s just hope the summer sunshine turns up!"
