A GIANT new beach has opened in a landlocked UK village for the summer.
Over 250 tonnes of sand have been transported to the attraction to create a fake beach.
The National Forest Adventure Farm in Staffordshire has transformed into a tropical paradise for only six weeks.
From July 19 until September 1, families can splash around in five huge paddling pools.
The 10-metre paddling pools have been installed to offer a refreshing dip while 250 tonnes of sand was brought in to transport visitors to the sandy beach.
Parents can unwind and soak up the sun on deck chairs while kids build sandcastles or play in the toddler .
Other attractions
For entertainment, families are offered seaside shows, flash mobs and foam parties to enjoy.
Thanks to a £100,000 investment in new play equipment, this year’s Farmarama event is expected to be the attraction’s “biggest ever beach themed party.”
It is also the home of the longest outdoor Mega Slide Mountain in the UK.
A brand-new wooden assault course featuring bridges, balance beams, an 18-foot Eagle tower, and a slide will also be introduced this summer.
Tom Robinson, who runs the attraction, said: “Being outside has so many benefits for children with the sea, sand and laughter of seaside creating cherished memories for many families.
“ is about as far away from the seaside as you can get in the UK, so we wanted to help families enjoy the thrills and enjoyment of being at the beach without the long car journey to get there.
“This year we have added so much more to keep youngsters entertained.
“With two additional giant pools, flash mob style performances, extra seaside shows throughout the day and a whole new Texan Smokehouse range of BBQ grill and wood fired pizzas there is plenty to keep the whole family entertained.”
All your classic fairground activities will also be available including traditional sheep races, a fairground teacup ride, sand art and a five acre maize maze.
Food options
A brand-new Texan Smokehouse will serve barbecue specialities like grilled Alabama chicken, smashed burgers, and smoked beef brisket, along with five brand-new wood-fired pizza ovens, including one specifically designed for gluten-free pizza.
Sweet-toothed visitors will have a choice of Boston Donuts, homemade locally sourced ice cream and Paninis - with ice cream and sweet toppings fried in brioche buns.
Tickets
Both adults and children tickets sell for £19.95 with free admission for kids under the age of two.
Families that visit the park before August 9 can benefit from the Summer Double the Fun promotion, which offers free return admission during Farmarama.
