Lincoln City Centre will see the return of Lincoln BIG’s sandy beach event next month, Lincoln by the Sea, with a few added extras
From August 1, children wil be able to enjoy the beach while still in the city, as well as fairground rides, while parents can relax in deckchairs.
However, local company Playdays is also building a six-by-three metre ship to accompany the beach for kids to play on.
In addition, between August 11 and 15, youngster will be able to try Water Zorbing — an activity which involves walking on water in a large bubble.
Lincoln BIG events and promotions manager Michael Armstrong said: “The Beach proved to be a runaway success last Summer, so we’re recreating it – but this time with some great new twists.
“We’re hoping that families will make the most of it and have a great time.
“We’re inviting everyone who visits The Beach to make a real day of it by coming into the city early and also making time to pop into city centre shops and cafes.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
