New beach club set to open in York city centre
YORK residents and visitors to the city are set to get a taste of life at the seaside this summer. The YO1 Beach Club is a brand-new family-friendly space on the banks of the river Ouse in Tower Gardens at the foot of Skeldergate Bridge, opening on Thursday, June 24 and running until Sunday, September 5. The club will comprise a wood-panelled covered café and veranda with a boardwalk entrance across a beach area styled with striped deckchairs, bunting, and lobster pots. Four brightly coloured beach huts on the sand will serve teas and coffees, ice creams, as well as beach apparel and toys. There will also be an open barbeque serving a choice of delicious grilled food as well as a menu for kids. The café menu includes refreshing mocktails, milkshakes and coke floats as well as coffee and a non-alcoholic range of drinks. Kids birthday and party packages are also available, with advance bookings being taken.
