Join us in celebrating Southchurch Day in Southchurch Hall Gardens. This will be our 2nd Celebration of everything in the EastQuarter. Highlighting the hidden gems in our area. Music, song, re-enactments, craft stalls and much more.
Keep a look out on our social media sites for updates on those joining us. Why the Rooster? Search for Richard de Southchurch and that may give you the answer.
The Kite Festival.
So this is another proposed idea and we need your feedback on the plan.
We will be inviting people to come along and enjoy the Eastern Esplanade beaches between Ocean Beach and Roslin Beach Hotel to spend the day with us and fly kites.
We hope to encourage people to visit and enjoy the EastQuarter and explore the area, relax, dine and drink.

SoBEX 2025.
18th September 2025 is the third Southchurch Business Expo hosted by Southend Christian Fellowship. This time sponsored by our friends KT Plant Hire and again in partnership with Southend City Council Business Development Team. This is the opportunity to highlight local business and to attract new businesses to the EastQuarter. It is also an opportunity for businesses to network with other providers and services. In 2025 we will focus on apprenticeships and career pathways. Stands for exhibitors are free, so please click on the button below to secure your stand.
FROSTBITE 25.
In 2024 Frostbite was hit by Storm Darragh, but we learnt so much about the Real Southchurch Road traders. So it’s back in 2025 but with a different format to make the event bigger and better.
Southchurch’s Christmas Experience will again use Ilfracombe Avenue Car Park, to host a Craft Market and maybe music, but the fun, music and dancing will go along the whole of the real Southchurch Road. We will encourage traders to take part in our mini Christmas Tree switch on, more details throughout the year.
Like 2024, traders will offer mulled wine, mince pies and other treats to welcome visitors through their doors. It’s a gateway to Christmas, a full community celebration highlighting the talent and local independent traders we have on our doorsteps.
We are pleased that J&C Contractors are our principal sponsors for 2025, there are still sponsorship opportunities available, contact events.projectsouthchurch@gmail.com.
