"Festival Square is located in the heart of Oswestry and is turned into a huge sandpit – perfect for the little ones and the young at heart to enjoy some messy fun without the clear up! 

"Grab a deckchair and your bucket and spade and enjoy some beach fun away from the sea!"

The beach comes back to the town on May 25 - 26.

Lined by deckchairs and surrounded by the sounds of waves and seagull calls. 

It is is free to use between 10am and 6pm.
