It’s set to be a sand-tastic day at Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds 🏖️

Families in Castleford are invited to take part in a free sandcastle competition at Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds this Monday (July 20).

Children will be able to take part in two ‘Sandcastle Showdowns’ at 12:30pm and 1pm as the designer outlet celebrates the return of its popular beach area for the summer.

The winners of the Tallest Sandcastle, Most Creative Design and Judges' Favourite categories will take home some of the day's biggest prizes, including a VTech Kidizoom watch and a Paddington Football Playset.

Other prizes on offer will include toys, games, gift sets, books, backpacks, watches and other family favourites from Designer Outlet Leeds retailers including Luke 1977, Precious Little One, The Works, Beauty Outlet, The Gift Company, Clarks, Baggage Factory, and The Sweet Emporium.

Every child who competes in the sandcastle competition will also receive a participation medal.

The competition marks the launch of the recently renamed outlet's much-loved summer beach, which will remain open until August 30.

Throughout the six weeks, Designer Outlet Leeds is also partnering with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance to deliver a range of family-friendly activities to raise vital funds for the charity.

These will include a colouring station, interactive displays, and a £1 Heli Hunt trail where families can follow clues around the outlet for the chance to win a £100 voucher.

Darren Winter, Centre Director at Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds, said: “The return of our summer beach is always a highlight of the school holidays, and we’re delighted to be adding a new sandcastle competition this year.

“Thanks to the fantastic support of our retailers, every child who takes part will receive a prize, while our continued partnership with Yorkshire Air Ambulance will bring even more family activities to the outlet throughout the summer. We look forward to welcoming families for a brilliant day out.”
