COLOURFUL beach huts are set to return to the seafront.

Seaford Town Council is welcoming back the eight rainbow huts from Friday, April 29.

The vibrant huts will stand on the Esplanade above the town’s pebbled beach, and can be rented on a weekly basis through Seaford’s tourist information.

They will remain in place until Thursday, September 26, when they will be stowed away for the winter.
