Yeah. At last the boating lake full.
Live music, Punch & Judy, vintage fairground rides, craft activities and model boat displays will celebrate the re-opening of Redcar Boating Lake on Saturday 11 October 11am-3pm and everyone is invited! ๐โจ๐
The free event, that tips a nostalgic nod to when the lake first opened in 1937, will recreate the townโs original Sunshine Stage on the bandstand.
๐Britainโs youngest crooner, 15-year-old Redcar Tik Tok star George Robinson Redcarโs Crooner, will be performing a mixture of classic songs from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby.
๐The Lipsticks Vintage Trio will be singing the songs of yesterday in perfect harmony with killer choreography and bundles of energy!
๐Lady Lemon Top will be entertaining the children with stories that celebrate Redcarโs history.
๐ญAnd there will be a traditional Punch & Judy show โ heโs behind you! โ adding to the vintage themed entertainment.
๐จFree craft sessions with Creative Village CIC will run throughout the event with families invited to make model boats from recycled materials.
๐Kirkleatham Museum & Grounds are reprinting original vintage postcards and visitors will be encouraged to write messages of their dreams and hopes for their town on the back.
๐Tees Women Poets (most recently spotted as the spooktastic spellcasters at Between the Tides Festival) will once again be in residence to collect your memories of Redcar
๐ขGreener Lavelle will be bringing along their giant Sarga the Sea Turtle puppet to mingle with the crowds.
โตAnd, of course, what is a boating lake without boats! Redcar Model Boat Club will be at the centre of it all with their collection of model boats.
