Nottingham Beach will return to Old Market Square this summer, bringing six weeks of seaside-style entertainment to the city centre.
The annual attraction will transform the square with real sand, rides, games, beach bars, food and drink stalls, and free entertainment throughout the summer.
Organisers say the event is designed to offer a fun and affordable day out for families, friends and visitors to the city.
Traditional Nottingham Beach favourites will return for 2026, including Tuesday salsa nights, Wednesday beach volleyball and Thursday movie nights. There will also be live music and entertainment during the week.
New acts, fresh entertainment and further summer attractions are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The beach will once again give visitors the chance to enjoy a seaside atmosphere in the heart of Nottingham, whether they are visiting with children, meeting friends or stopping by to watch the entertainment.
