Final preparations are being made for this year’s Beach Party at Silverton Street Market.
Organisers of the event on Saturday, August 3, say there will be enough food to feed several armies, including vegan ones, also burgers, crepes, pizza, coffee, and cream teas served in the Methodist Church Hall.
A spokesperson for the market said: “There will be live music and children’s entertainment all day, craft stalls to meander through, and in keeping with the beach party theme, there’s a ‘super surfer’ to try your hand or legs at, a giant deckchair and a children’s beach treasure hunt – collect the clues sheet from the face painting tent on the Little Rec. There is also a bouncy castle, the inimitable ‘Dan the Hat’ and Silverton School artwork will be on display in St Mary’s Church.
“Grown-up entertainment includes a raffle with some amazing prizes, a specially crafted beer from the Exe Valley Brewery, aptly named ‘Exe on the Beach’, a Beach Bar run by the Twinning Association serving Pimms, Prosecco and stunning Cocktails and, towards the end of the day, the ever-popular Tug of War. The day’s activities will end with a playlist so you can chill out, have another beer or cocktail and listen to some music while the kids run off the last of their energy.
“If you are lucky enough to get tickets for the evening event ‘Life’s a Beach - Party on’ the line up includes ‘Still Hate Thatcher, Reckless and Lazy Snacks as well as a hog roast and in house bar.
“Everyone is invited to come in fancy dress. Entrance is £2.50 adults, 50p children. Free car parking is available in Up Exe Lane.”
