Summer Bucket List

School’s out, summer’s here, and it’s time to start ticking off some free family fun across Southend!

Our Southend Summer Bucket List is packed with 20 free things to do during the school holidays, from park adventures and museum visits to outdoor cinema, live music, street art, silly story-making and hidden corners of the city to explore.

The bucket list itself is available as a printed leaflet, so little explorers can tick things off as they go. Pick one up from Southend Pier, Southend Libraries, or Southend Museums venues including Prittlewell Priory, Southchurch Hall and Southend Central Museum.

Ready to plan your next day out? Browse free events and free things to do below, grab your leaflet, and see how many you can tick off before the end of the summer holidays!
