The popular Nottingham Beach will once again return to Old Market Square this summer, it’s been confirmed.
Visit Nottinghamshire has announced that the annual event will return to the city centre over the coming weeks, transforming Old Market Square into a tropical paradise.
The Visit Nottinghamshire website says: “Nottingham Beach is back for 2025 and it’s bigger than ever!
“Last summer, Old Market Square was transformed into a vibrant Santorini-style escape, complete with golden sand, a refreshing pool, thrilling rides, and mouth-watering treats.
“From Greek gyros to Nutella crepes, salsa dancing to sunset movie nights, the city came alive with summer fun - and this year promises even more!
“The Mellors Group brought Nottingham’s favourite beach to life with an exciting theme, stylish beach bar, and family-friendly attractions like the iconic Starflyer, bumper boats, and beach volleyball.
“Visitors enjoyed everything from chilled drinks and crepes to epic games and entertainment under the sun.”
What will the dates be and how much is entry?
According to Visit Nottinghamshire, the dates for this year’s beach are still to be confirmed.
Last year’s Nottingham Beach was held in Old Market Square between Wednesday, July 17 and Sunday, September 1.
It has, however, been confirmed that entry to the beach area will once again be free.
The full lineup, including entertainment schedules, will be announced in due course.
