The Great Get Together, Shoeburyness, Southend
23rd June 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Great Get Together is a national event set up in memory of Jo Cox – who believed we have more in common than that which divides us.
Join us for this second community gathering at Shoebury East Beach. We’ll be nabbing one of the built-in BBQs there, but bring your own food to cook. Also bring picnics – and if you’re happy to share with other Get Togetherers, so much the better!
Last year we had giant games like Connect 4 and Jenga, tug-o-war and limbo. Some organisations/local groups bought stands to share information. Why not bring books, toys and things to swap or give away? We’ll also have a trolley again to fill with donations for local foodbanks/Little Free Pantries, so bring non perishables or toilettries for that if you wish.
This event is FREE and open to the public. We hope to attract a great diverse audience. (NB: we won’t have Shoebury East Beach to ourselves, but as we did last year, we’ll be happily inviting everyone to join in with us should they wish to.)
Toilets, refreshments and first aid on site. There’s also parking, but it isn’t free.
