The sun is out, it's mid-August - will you be going to the beach today?

We mean the one in Hitchin Market Place, of course as the centre of town turns into the seaside until later this month.

The newly installed beach will be in centre of our town until Banl Holiday Monday, August 28 and, similar to many popular beaches on a sunny day, is packed with youngsters enjoying the fun.

As ever, the site features buckets and spades, deckchairs, children's rides and activities - so why not visit market square for a taste of the seaside.

Organisers say: "Children will be able to bring their buckets and spades to play in the sand.

"We will also have deck chairs, children's rides and activities happening throughout.

"Come down and enjoy the fun! - 10am - 4pm each day."
