A free summer beach will transform Northampton’s Market Square into a seaside destination throughout the school holidays.

Running from 31 July until 31 August, the month-long attraction will feature sand, deckchairs, buckets and spades, palm trees and beach-themed decorations, creating the perfect place for families to relax, play and enjoy a taste of summer in the town centre.

A range of additional activities will also be available and you will be able to vote for your favourites on our Facebook page over the coming weeks.

Alongside the beach, visitors can enjoy a selection of fairground rides delivered by Café Continental.
