SUMMER is set to arrive in Yate Shopping Centre with the return of the popular beach.

Located in the main square alongside Boswell’s Cafe, the beach will open for the duration of the summer months, from Bank Holiday Monday, May 28 and run through till the August Bank Holiday on Monday, August 31.

There will be a programme of great activities throughout the three months, as the shopping centre’s marketing manager, Tracy King, said: “The beach is always the most popular of the summer events and attracts a wide following.

“We have organised a fantastic diary of events to keep the shoppers and children entertained throughout the summer holidays. Other events will be announced over coming weeks.

“However, the highlight of the summer will, of course, be the 50th birthday celebrations on the weekend of August 22 and 23, featuring The Wurzels and many other regional and local musical acts.”
