Nottingham may be 80 miles from the nearest coastline but nevertheless residents have come to expect a little sun, sea and sand over the summer months... OK, maybe not the sun.
City-by-the-Sea (that's Nottingham Beach amongst friends) will be back in Old Market Square from Saturday, July 13 to Sunday, September 1.
Event organisers Mellors Group, the company behind Winter Wonderland, Old Market Scare, The Wheel of Nottingham and Goose Fair, promise this year's event will have "More sand, more drinks and more entertainment".
Rides have yet to be confirmed but in previous years attractions have included a reverse bungee,
high ropes course, foot pool, crazy wave, sand dune racer, water balls, bungee trampolines, F1 car ride, hook-a-duck and comedy photobooth.
Also back will be the beach's movie nights, variety hosted by JustBen, live music and the beach volley ball tournament (which is now accepting entries over on its official Facebook page).
City-by-the-Sea opening times and dates:
Monday - Thursday: 10am – 11pm
Fridays and Saturdays: 10am – 11.30pm.
Sundays: 10am - 10pm
