Kite Festival 25th July.

The second kite festival will take place on Eastern Esplanade between Roslin Beach Hotel and Billy Hundreds. We will have at least 5 professional kite fliers from around the UK visiting with all types and sizes of Kites.

First kite launched around 11.45am, weather permitting. Greta fun day will be had for all, a great way to kick off summer at Southends Alternative Airshow.

Southchurch Business Expo

The original business Expo will return to Southchurch on 17th September. Careful of imitations.
