🎆🎇 SEAFRONT FIREWORKS 🎆🎇

The next FREE Southend Seafront Fireworks display of the season will light up the sky TOMORROW! 🙌

Gather your friends and family and head to the seafront to enjoy an evening of dazzling colours, breathtaking bursts and unforgettable memories. Don't miss the magic as Southend's skies sparkle once again! ✨

🚗 Travelling by car? Please allow extra time for your journey. Roads around the city centre and seafront can be especially busy and car parks fill up quickly on Saturday evenings. There are also ongoing improvement works on Queensway which may affect some routes into the city.

🚆 Alternatively, take the train. Southend Central and Southend Victoria stations are both within walking distance of the seafront, making rail travel a convenient and stress-free way to enjoy the event.

Visit our website for more info to help you plan your perfect Saturday night (link in bio)

🎇️ Displays every Saturday at 7:30pm
📅 Until Saturday 14 November

The event is proudly delivered by Seafront Businesses & Partners including: Star Amusements, Kingpins Southend, Adventure Island UK, Sealife Adventure, Beaches Restaurant Southend, Southend-on-Sea City Council, Southend City BID , c2c Rail, Pebbles, The Hope Hotel - Southend, Papillon, Southend and Chinnerys Southend.
