We are bringing you a new series of articles based on having fun in Southend, whether that’s with friends, on a date or by yourself. We have put together the dream day itinerary plan for any scenario!
Round up your mates, there’s more to this city than the pier and seafront amusements. Why not try these activities for a great group day out…
2.00-3.00pm The Wonders of Vintage
Friends and shopping go hand in hand. TWO vintage is no ordinary high street shop though, as their
social media feeds say – shop sustainable one of a kind vintage pieces by the kilo. Take a trip to this special store and browse the rails full of rare finds from sport jerseys to unique sweatshirts and slogan tees. Pick out some pieces and pay by weight, it’s just £20 per kilo. Bargain!
