The event was cancelled last year due to the pandemic but will be back in full force from Thursday July 29-August 31 with all of the seaside staples you would expect.
There will be lots of children’s entertainment including a Punch and Judy show, magician, DJ, helter skelter rides, mini golf, and traditional boat swings, plus paddling in the Peace Garden fountains and, of course, a huge sandpit.

The event, open daily from 10am-6pm, has been a favourite among Sheffielders for years and its return will no doubt bring in large crowds who missed the presence of a beach on their doorstep last year.
It is free to attend and will make for a fun family day out in the glorious Sheffield sunshine, if the good weather continues.
