Bullring Beach


65 tonnes of sand have recently been put in the centre of Birmingham to create a Birmingham beach! Mad yes! However it is certainly attracting the crowds, as we are the city furthest from the sea, now with our own beach. At first I thought it was ridiculous, however it is not purely a pile of sand, events throughout the summer will be hosted here such as Brazilian dancing, volleyball tournaments and musical events. The sandy beach was finished at the start of June, however I am guessing after all of the rain its probably been washed away like the rest of town! Next time I venture into the centre i'll go to see whether we still have our own beach, but I expect that it has been a washout and a waste of money rather than a sunny entertainment venue.
