Festival of Bathing Beauties 2011
The fith annual Festival of Bathing Beauties will take place from 16 - 18 September 2011 between Mablethorpe and Sutton-On-Sea, Lincolnshire coast, UK.
A sixteen kilometer stretch of blue-flag award-winning beaches on the Lincolnshire coast is the setting for the fourth Festival of Bathing Beauties: The UK’s only Beach Hut Festival. It’s fun and free for all the family. Along the promenade, hundreds of public and privately owned beach huts will be on special display from 16 - 18 September 2010; many featuring a range of spectacular, bizarre, incredible and beautiful events and performances inside. Up to 50 ‘Beautiful Beach Hut’ competition entries – huts specially decorated inside and out by their proud owners hoping to win one of several cash prizes – will also be on public display. There are bold new Bathing Beauties Huts on Parade and planned events on the beach and sea front including music, food, story telling, puppet shows and temporary art installations plus fireworks and fire sculptures in the evening. Over 10,000 new visitors attended the Festival of Bathing Beauties in September 2007, it was the busiest Mablethorpe had been in 30 years and the local paper headline reported ‘Hut Festival Wows World’ with many international visitors coming to the Lincolnshire coast for the first time. Further information including details about local competitions and a timetable of events which took place over 18 – 20 September 2009 are available.

The Bathing Beauties® project has evolved since it was first conceived in 2006 by Michael Trainor, as an international design competition for artists and architects to ‘Re-imagine the Beach Hut for the 21st Century’
Three distinctive Bathing Beauties® elements include innovative new beach hut and small building architecture on the Lincolnshire coast, UK; the UK’s only Beach Hut Festival and an international touring exhibition of 1:15 scale model beach huts selected from the original design competition.
Bathing Beauties®: Huts on Parade
Five Bathing Beauties® beach huts derived from international competitions to ‘Re-imagine the Beach Hut for the 21st Century’ were built full-scale and permanently installed in 2007, dotted along a 16 kilometre stretch of the Lincolnshire coast, UK. The UKs first permanent cloud viewing platform, The Cloud Bar by Michael Trainor, is now open at Anderby Creek - see Future Projects for more information. Later in 2009, two original commissions and an additional further small building commission a Bird Hide called The Round and Round House will be installed.
