Free Rooftop beach experience in Croydon
Get ready to feel the sand between your toes without leaving the city! From 1st to 28th August, Costa Del Croydon will transform the top floor of Centrale’s multi-storey car park into an urban beach paradise, offering a unique blend of seaside fun and city vibes right in the heart of Croydon
Families can enjoy lots of activities for all ages
Families can enjoy a range of activities suitable for all ages. Highlights include a giant sandpit, cozy beach huts, bungee trampolines, and a water splash zone, all against a backdrop full of beachside charm.
The fun continues with opportunities to get into the competitive spirit and have a go at bingo on the beach, dance workshops, hook-a-duck, mini Go Karts, or a game of table tennis to show the kids who’s boss.
Visitors can indulge in a variety of tasty food options, from classic pier-side treats like ice creams, candyfloss, and doughnuts, to 100% halal Indian cuisine from Indi-go, chicken and more.
For those moments when we experience a classic British summer and a bit of rain, the activities will move into a pop up space in the centre to ensure the vibes don’t stop.
Costa Del Croydon is more than just a pop-up beach - it's a celebration of community, creativity, and summer fun. Join us for an unforgettable seaside escape, right here in Croydon!
