The Summer Beach is back at The Galleries
July 21st, 2010From 21 July until the end of August, the summer beach returns to Woodcock Square at The Galleries Shopping Centre in Wigan and will be free of charge to visit, making it a great attraction during the school summer holidays.

“Everyone is welcome to The Galleries to enjoy the centre’s free summer beach. Spend time relaxing on a deck chair, making sand castles, joining in one of our free events or just have a short siesta in the sun.”
With 10 tonnes of sand, palm trees, deckchairs and decking, the beach will also play host to a number of activities on Wednesdays throughout the summer period.
At 11am on 21 July, when the beach officially opens, shoppers young and old will be entertained by Peppa Pig (appearances at intervals) traditional Punch and Judy shows and a steel band. Other Wednesday events include; face painting, balloon modelling and children’s activity workshops.
