It'll be brought to the city once more by Welsh events specialists Sayers Event.

Director Norman George Sayers said: “We’re thrilled to announce that the Beach returns for another year in Cardiff, and are pleased we’re able to return to Roald Dahl Plass – a much-loved site for both us and our customers.

"This year you can expect the return of our paddling pool, along with sea-side fun and games, including our very own beach and plenty of entertainment.”

Headline sponsors, Capital FM, will also be hitting the beach across the summer to give people the chance to win some prizes.
