A DAY OUT IN SOUTHEND

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!

Southend has a bouldering wall and it’s the coolest place to visit with your pals. Practise your
climbing skills without ropes in a vibrant and fun environment. There’s no need to book, you’ll get an
induction briefing and be able to hire special shoes. What’s more social than trying something new –

6.00pm onwards SoPa Thai

All that climbing will make you hungry so it’s time to eat! A short walk from Southend High Street down London Road and you’ll find SoPa Thai, a delicious gem of a restaurant offering fresh and authentic Thai cuisine. The light bites Thai ‘tapas’ items from the tasty menu are fantastic to sharewith friends.
