Drama, fun races and mini-Olympics are just some of the events taking place along the coast as part of an annual event which has returned after a year’s absence.

Sheringham Beach Mission, an outreach programme to children and young people is back under the new name of Sheringham Beach Life.

It has been running since Tuesday and continues until Friday near the Burlignton Hotel in Sheringham. The theme this year is the “I am” statements of Jesus.

The annual event, supported by Scripture Union caters for toddlers up to the age of 17, with the young people spilt into age groups for their activities, which include sports, drama, creative bible teaching, arts and crafts, beach games, and a tide fight.

Rev Pete Skivington from Sheringham Baptist Church, said: “Hopefully this will build the relationship between the churches in Sheringham and we can do things in partnership next year as well and in the coming years.”
