The tide may well have gone out centuries ago, but with Somersham Carnival Week starting on 15th June, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy being ‘Beside The Seaside’ for a few days.

First up are the Community Beach Games and the Carnival Quiz, which take place on Saturday 15th June.
The Community Beach Games, in collaboration with Friends Of Somersham Nature Reserve, starts at 12 noon at Station Land Field (the ‘Dog Field’) behind Somersham Lake. It’s free entry!
There will be plenty of activities for children and adults – with DASH sports coaches and volunteers organising beach games including volleyball, frisbee, and Tchoukball amongst others. For young children there’s also a ‘Wildplay’ session to encourage wildlife discovery.
Dogs can also take part too – with dog agility course, obedience training, and a flyball competition, organised in association with Big Walkies.
BBQ from 12 noon, with cold drinks and refreshments on sale – bring your own chairs, blankets, suncream etc!
