Lincoln’s sandy beach returns

Beach break: Families looking to entertain children during a shopping trip can make use of the free sandy beach in Lincoln.

Lincoln’s sandy beach returned to the city centre on Monday, July 22, offering families a chance to unwind in the sand and sun without needing to leave the city.

The big beach in City Square, organised annually by Lincoln BIG, has actual sand delivered straight from Skegness, for everyone to enjoy for free. Parents can relax in deck chairs while the children play in the sand or on fairground rides.

Other events will also come to the beach over the summer, including Lincoln’s Punch and Judy Festival on July 26 and 27.

Lincoln by The Sea is open from 10am to 4pm every day until August 31.
