The launch party takes place on Friday July 26, when a giant life-like animatronic lion will be available to meet between 10am and 3pm, along with a giant gorilla and baby apes.

On Friday August 9 kids can go on safari between 10am and 4pm as two explorers lead various fun and games, including music, animal charades, a scavenger hunt and themed temporary tattoos. The life-size lion and friends return to Priory Meadow on bank holiday Monday August 26 and you can also enjoy free face painting on various dates throughout the school holidays.

Marketing Manager Leanna Lawson said: “We are very excited to have the beach back for a third time. It has been extremely popular in previous years. Children and adults alike can enjoy playing in the sand with the buckets and spades provided. It is a great base to host all the fantastic free events we have planned over the summer holidays.”
