“Free fun for children and families”
Edward Mellors said, “We’re delighted to be bringing the beach back to Old Market Square. Along with Winter Wonderland it’s one of two events that shows our ongoing commitment to providing the best of entertainment for local people, even while our business grows well beyond Nottingham. I think the beach is particularly important because it’s where we’re best able to offer free fun for children and families that might not be able to afford to get away, especially in a cost-of-living crisis. See you on the sand.”
Cllr Pavlos Kotsonis, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at Nottingham City Council, said: “We are very pleased that Nottingham Beach will return to Old Market Square for the summer holidays. It’s a fun and affordable summertime destination for families who can enjoy a free day out. People can also experience the thrilling rides and attractions or relax with a drink in the sun at the Beach Bar.”
