Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's Executive Councillor for Culture and Tourism, Councillor Derek Jarvis said: "We have an extremely lively arts scene in Southend, and this open day is an ideal way to explore a tempting choice of different activities.  

"If you have ever wanted to tread the boards, join a choir or orchestra, embroider, or learn how to take good photographs, then come along to find out more.  

 

"Admission is free, and there is a wide range of live entertainment throughout the day."

 

This includes:  

• A poetry recital from Southend Poetry Group
