BEACH huts and bathing machines will be celebrated at Mudeford Arts Festival on July 28 and 29.

Arts and crafts people will fill the picnic green at Mudeford Quay with gazebos exhibiting and selling their handiwork. Admission is free for visitors.

Help is needed to produce Olympic-themed decoration for the art marquees. Send tired and perished swimsuits and the organisers pledge to produce an art installation to catch your eye when you go along to identify your donated swimwear.

Donations should be sent to Mudeford Arts Festival Office, 3 Haven Cottages, Mudeford Quay, BH23 4AB.
