Egyptomania: Sand sculptures and mummy trails

Harborough Mail

It is nice that this occasion has been turned into something of an educational event for the local children. Market Harborough is in Leicestershire, UK.

GET YOUR buckets and spades at the ready – a huge sandpit is coming to Harborough town centre as part of an Egyptian-themed event.

The Square will be transformed into a sandy beach for the day on Wednesday, complete with deckchairs and an ice-cream van.

It is the fourth year running the free event has been held with previous years seeing dinosaurs and pirates descending on Harborough.

This summer's theme is Egyptian and will include an Egyptian colouring competition, a chance to learn hieroglyphics, create an Egyptian mask, listen to stories and follow a 'mummy' street trail around the town's businesses.
