Free Beach Pop-Up Coming to Crewe This August
Crewe is bringing the coast to the town centre this August Bank Holiday weekend with Discover Crewe-on-Sea – a free, family-friendly seaside experience taking place from Saturday, 23rd to Monday, 25th August in Lyceum Square.
It is part of Crewe Town Council’s wider Summer Festival of Fun and will transform the square into a colourful coastal pop-up, complete with real sand, a beach hut and boat, buckets and spades, and plenty of hands-on entertainment.
Running from 11am to 4pm each day, visitors can relax in deckchairs, get involved in craft workshops and enjoy live performances throughout the weekend.
It will include a themed trail linking the town’s three Business Improvement District zones, which will feature hidden challenges and photo opportunities. Alongside there are opportunities for children to design ‘Postcards from Crewe’ celebrating lesser-known parts of the town’s heritage, from the iconic blue Owl Telescope to the world-famous Whitby Morrison ice cream vans.
