You don't need to be beside the seaside as Bedford Beach Week returns
We may be nowhere near the sea (OK, OK, the county does have a town called Sandy), but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the beach.
So grab your bucket and your space as Bedford Beach Week has returned for the summer holidays.
There is just one caveat though – no adults allowed (spoilsports).
The outdoor sandpit experience is running now up until Sunday (August 16) at Silver Square, Silver Street, between 10am and 4pm.
There will also be a SEND inclusive hour from 10-11am each day.
And if you don’t posses a spade or a bucket, fear not as Bedford Borough Council is also providing them – just don’t forget your suntan lotion.
Junior beachgoers can also pop into What's On Visitor Information Centre, in Silver Street, to colour in a beach-themed masterpiece.
And if that wasn’t enough, this month (August), children aged five to 15 can travel for free on Grant Palmer, Stagecoach and Uno buses across the borough and surrounding areas.
