The annual Blackwood Beach Party is back and it will descend on Blackwood Town Centre once again to bring fun for all the family. The urban beach will wash ashore with deckchairs, buckets and spades for some family fun time, as well as street entertainers and beach themed activities which this year included hula hooping, punch and judy shows, donkey rides facepainting and a surf simulator.

Children will have the chance to see some of their favourite TV stars as a number of costumed characters attend the event. This year we look to welcome Hello Kitty, Peppa Pig & George, Upsa daisy, Spiderman, Spongebob Square Pants, Mike The Knight, Woody & Jessie from Toy Story, Jake and Izzy from Jake & The Netherlands Pirates and Rosie from Everything’s Rosie.

As well as all these exciting activities there will be 40 food and craft stalls to try and buy from as well as a selection of children’s funfair rides from the Cup and Saucer and Fun House to the Miami for those young, or old thrill, seekers amongst us!
