Glorious sunshine heralded the start of the Annual Heacham Beach Party
The Annual Heacham Beach Party got underway at South Beach on Sunday 10 of July, despite a dodgy weather forecast the sun was shining and it was hot. This year’s beach party theme was “underwater”.
Many families enjoyed sandcastle competitions, face painting, a traditional Punch and Judy show from resident showman Rollo and music from Andy Groom. A huge hit with children and adults alike was the “Create your own Beach T-shirt with Mik Richardson, a talented grafitti artist.
Beach party passes included free soft drinks and BBQ which did a roaring trade until a huge rain shower hit, sending everyone for cover. Although most people made their way home, a few hardy individuals stayed on, brollies were produced and the BBQuers continued.
200 people attended the event which is staged by the Community Committee of Heacham Parish Council with the help of sponsorship from Jennings Shop and Hunstanton and District Ladies Circle. Winners of the Sandcastle Competition was Erin Barber under 7s and a group effort from Emily and Harry Sands with Christina Bristow won the older group.
