The magic and atmosphere of a visit to the beach will be arriving in Knaresborough from Sunday 5th August when Henshaws Urban Beach returns for the summer season.
Henshaws will once again transform their Arts & Crafts Centre into an oasis of family fun from Sunday 5th – Sunday 26th August. Henshaws Urban Beach is free to visit and will be open daily from 10.00am to 4pm.

Visitors will be able to enjoy treats and refreshments from Henshaws café including wood-fired pizzas , ice creams, hot food and drink and children’s picnics to enjoy on the sand.
Once again, the beach is hosting daytime and evening events as part of Knaresborough feva 2018. Entertainment on offer includes: live music from Alehouse Rock Band and Edwina Hayes; performance poetry by Sam Illingworth; sets by DJ Rory Hoy and DJ Trev; crafting and storytime with Painting Pots; and the March of the Mermaids.
