The summer has landed in Wellingborough where sun worshipers have been basking at the town’s very own beach.
The Wellingborough beach opened the first weekend in August, just in time for the mini heatwave which has hit most of the UK.
The beach extravaganza, which for the first time is located in the Market Place, will be in place until Saturday, August 27, 2016.
To celebrate the closing of the sandy structure the Wellingborough Business Improvement District (BID), has organised a one-off special Jamaican evening.
Freshly prepared Jamaican cuisine cooked by Jamrock Food, which is located on Cambridge Street, will be served up alongside refreshing cocktails.
The event, which will also include a steel live band, will start from 5.30pm and finish approximately 8pm.
John Cable, BID manager, said: “Families have flocked to the free beach activity and we felt holding a special Jamaican night would be the perfect way to bring it to an end.
“Once again, the event has proven to be a huge success and we are very proud to have brought such joy and fun to the families of Wellingborough and surrounding areas.”
This year the beach has also been accompanied with a nearby helter-skelter, swing boats and a photo wall for added entertainment.
There have also been magic tricks, balloon modelling and Punch and Judy shows at weekends throughout August.
Several charities have been in attendance too at different times helping to raise awareness of their causes and encourage donations.
Chelsea’s Angels, Storm Community Arts Group, Niamh’s Next Step and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) have all laid on various activities such as face painting and a tombola at some point.
