Life's a beach as summer sun returns to Luton

If you are looking to have some fun in the sun, head on down to St George's Square in Luton on Saturday.

The square will be transformed for the town’s week long annual Summer in the Sun event, with more than 100 tonnes of sand creating one huge beach with deck chairs, donkey rides, helter-skelter, carousel, Ferris wheel and chair-o-planes!

Other activities include Punch & Judy, bouncy castles, face-painting, games, music and dance.
