The school holidays are finally here, and if you’re looking for a fun, affordable day out with the family, The Baytree Shopping Centre has everything you need to keep little ones entertained while parents can relax and enjoy a well-earned break.
Our much-loved FREE beach is open every day from 10am until 4pm, bringing a taste of the seaside to the heart of Brentwood. Children can dig, build sandcastles, play in the sand and let their imaginations run wild, making it the perfect place to burn off some energy during the summer holidays.
While the children are busy having fun, parents and grandparents can take the opportunity to unwind. Whether it’s enjoying a freshly brewed coffee, stopping for lunch or treating the family to an ice cream from Cafe Neon 7, there are plenty of delicious food and drink options right on the beach’s doorstep.
After enjoying the beach, why not make a day of it? Browse your favourite stores, pick up those back-to-school essentials, discover the latest fashion, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll around the centre.
Best of all, the beach is completely FREE to enjoy, making it an ideal way to keep the children entertained throughout the holidays without stretching the budget.
So pack your buckets and spades, gather the family and head down to The Baytree Shopping Centre this summer. Whether you’re visiting for an hour or spending the whole day with us, we’re looking forward to welcoming you for plenty of sunshine, smiles and seaside fun.
