The Great British Seaside is returning to the Royal Albert Dock this summer.
The event is running up until September 4 and includes a programme of free family activities, seafood specials and souvenirs. The docks will be transformed into a seaside-themed attraction with giant deckchairs and bunting as part of a celebration of the very best of the British beach holiday.
The most-popular elements of a trip to the seaside will be available on the waterfront during the summer holidays. New for this year, children can enjoy a variety of fun events throughout August alongside the three multicolour beach huts at the Mermaid Courtyard.
