Visitors to Elsecar are in for a treat when Elsecar by the Sea, the village’s annual celebration of its remarkable history, returns on Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 September.
The fun filled family weekend brings with it a taste of the seaside. There will be lots to see and do including a community gala (Saturday) in the award winning Elsecar park, beer festival in Milton Hall (Thursday - Saturday), craft fair in The Ironworks (Saturday and Sunday) and steam trains plus much more.
Younger visitors won’t be disappointed either as there will be lots to keep them entertained. They will enjoy fair rides, donkey rides, sand, live music and craft activities.
While there visitors can also take a look around the original Earls’ workshops, now converted into a wide variety of independent retailers, quaint cafes, antiques centre and indoor children’s play area.
For much of the 20th century Elsecar was a holiday destination for residents of Yorkshire. The picturesque reservoir in the village was the basis of the nickname, Elsecar by the Sea. Visitors travelled from miles around to enjoy the day in its pretty surroundings and people are invited to do so again at the village’s annual event.
Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “Elsecar by the Sea has long been a part of the village’s history and it’s great that this tradition is being kept alive by this fun family event. Always a great destination for a family day out there will be even more to see and do over the weekend.”
