The Beach is Back at Junction 32

Junction 32 hosts incredible beach experience once more.

Junction 32, Yorkshire’s much loved outlet shopping destination is delighted to announce that it’s welcoming back the beach experience once again this summer. In celebration of the summer holidays and taking place from Saturday 19th July to Sunday 31st August, visitors can enjoy a fully decked-out beach experience.

Junction 32 is thrilled to bring back the beach after last year’s huge success. There will be fun-filled beach activities, a beautiful carousel and an ice cream stand by the beach, set to delight visitors with a refreshing treat.

Located next to M&S, the beach will host deck chairs, buckets and spades and a shaded area, totally free for Junction 32 visitors. The beach will be open 10am-8pm on weekdays, 10am-6pm every Saturday and 11am-5pm every Sunday during the summer holidays. The beach is set to create the perfect environment to build sandcastles, lay back on a deck chair, set up a picnic or grab a bite to eat at one of the shopping centre’s eateries.
