Friday, 3 August 2018 00:05

Get your bucket and spade at the ready as the Big Beach returns to The Parade in Watford from Saturday 4th to Saturday 19th August!

As part of Watford Borough Council’s series of Big Events, the Big Beach uses real sand and promises to build on the success of previous Summer events.

Open daily from 10am until 10pm, take your family and friends along to the Big Beach and join in the fun – from arts and crafts to children’s activities and exercise classes, there is something for everyone, all for FREE! You can also just kick back and relax in the sunshine - there's no need to book, just turn up and enjoy! Plus, every day, shells will be hidden in the sand and for every shell found, a prize will be given!

Deputy Mayor of Watford Karen Collett, said: “I’m really excited to see the Big Beach back in Watford this summer. It has always been a success, with thousands of people enjoying the sand and free activities taking place. We are sure this year will be no different and will put a smile on the faces of children and adults alike.”
