The Great British Seaside: Photography from the 1960s to the present day, National Maritime Museum
From pleasure arcades to jam-packed beaches, celebrate the nation’s love affair with the British seaside at this contemporary photography exhibition
From dazzling arcades and icy cold dips, to sandy sandwiches and fortified sandcastles, the British seaside holiday is an eccentric yet quintessential British institution we can't seem to get enough of.
Celebrate the nation's enduring love affair with the Great British seaside at Greenwich's National Maritime Museum this summer. The Great British Seaside, a contemporary photography exhibition, explores the traditions, customs and quirks of holidaying on Britain's beaches, from Blackpool to Brighton, through the lens of four of Britain’s most celebrated photographers – Martin Parr, Tony Ray-Jones, David Hurn and Simon Roberts.
