Linsey Frostik, chairman of Love Luton, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Summer in the Sun for the fourth year. It promises to be bigger and better than ever with seven days of fun. The event offers everything from donkey rides through to our very own helter-skelter!
“I am excited to see the new addition of Luton’s very own Ferris wheel allowing you to take in the sights of out transformed town centre! The beach will be open from 11.30am till 6.30pm. Be sure to take a picture in our giant deck chair and post on our social media pages for a chance to win a prize. It promises to be fun, fun, fun!”

The event is free and runs from Saturday until Friday, August 26.
