Sand art on seafront to promote cycle tour
Artists will create a poster on Skegness beach for the Tour of Britain men's cycle race.
Skegness will host a sand art drawing in preparation for the Tour of Britain men's cycling race. The large-scale artwork, measuring 48m by 40m (157ft by 131ft), will be created on the beach to mark the resort's role in hosting the event. The race will pass through Lincolnshire, beginning its opening two stages in Boston on Thursday 3 September.
Steve Kirk, from East Lindsey Council, stated that the sand drawing would generate anticipation and showcase the coastal area's distinctive character. Artists Sand in Your Eye will begin the creation process on Thursday 20 August, completing it by evening. To complement the promotional event, street entertainers Yellow Bus Events will perform in Tower Gardens from 11:00 to 16:00 BST, engaging the public with acts like street circus, musical performances, a motorised piano, and Swank Street Theatre.
Kirk expressed Skegness' eagerness to welcome cyclists, teams, and spectators from across the nation. The first stage of the race will commence and conclude in Lincoln on Wednesday 2 September, covering a 182.5km (113 miles) route north of the city.
