Step into the sea-side themed Victoria Market Hall and relax on one of the deck chairs or build a castle in our fun-sized sand pit.
Across our family-friendly beach week, we will be bringing some wonderful artists and entertainers to run sessions alongside the pop-up beach.
Join us for a variety of activities including a fabulous kids disco to practice your dancing, get stuck in with some group games and enjoy some treats. We will also be crafting up a storm with an array of sea-side arts and crafts, such as a fabulous puppet workshop where you can make your own seagull!
Come along to create, play, and participate in the sea-side wonder in the centre of Stalybridge. From treasure hunting to touch tours, each day will bring new and fun activities to Tameside’s own pop-up beach. Lastly, do not forget to stop by the ice-cream van stationed outside where you can enjoy a sweet treat in the sun.
