🏖️ Looking for something to keep the kids entertained this summer holiday? ☀️

Saffron Walden Town Council are bringing the seaside to SW again this year!

👇 Check out their full post below for all the details. 👇

The Beach is Back! 🏖️

Grand Opening of the Beach on The Common - Thursday 23 July 2026!

Saffron Walden Town Council’s (SWTC) is delighted to be offering the Beach on The Common for the summer holidays – now in its 4th year! The ‘Grand Opening’ of the Beach will take place on Thursday 23 July 2026, with Town Mayor, Cllr Jeanette Curtis opening the beach at 2.30pm.

SWTC ensures that it delivers value for money by providing regular community events for FREE and by maintaining public open space and communal green outdoor areas for residents to enjoy. It also listens to its residents; the data collected through a consultation at last years’ beach has informed this year’s plans for the facility.

A SWTC spokesperson said, “we are absolutely thrilled to be offering this amazing free-to-use facility for the families and children of Saffron Walden. The summer holidays can be a tricky time for residents who are juggling work, childcare and the family budget.”

The support from local business is much appreciated, “Special thanks to Pottrill Holland Property Agents for supporting this year’s beach build for the summer holidays”. Pottrill Holland Property Agents

From Friday 24 July until Monday 31 August, the beach will be open between 10am – 4.30pm every day. SWTC look forward to seeing you there! There is no need to book, just turn up, bring a picnic mat - and enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze!
