Southend City Centre Dragon Trail For Chinese New Year
The Lunar New Year begins on Saturday 10th February and 2024 will be the year of the DRAGON. To celebrate we’ve got a few weeks of Dragon infused fun at Southend on Sea and it’s all FREE.
Southend City BID brings you a feast of dragon related activities to enjoy. For the next three weekends and half term week, there is a FREE Dragon trail for the kids.
Weave along the High Street venues and follow the trail, each poster’s QR code will open up a dragon on your mobile phone. Track down all 10 dragon footprints, complete the challenges and you can download a FREE e-book and along the way you might bump into a few fire- breathing surprises too!Saturday 10th February
Come and enjoy the Free Dragon trail as it goes live with venues from New Look in the Victoria Centre all the way down the High Street to Southend Pier. At the Forum, come and see the giant Dragon in reception where you have the chance to name it in a competition. The winner will get a family ticket (up to 5 people) to see the fantastic family show The Wizard of Oz at the Cliffs Pavilion. Also at the Forum, make sure you visit the Children's Library where you can enter a Dragon story writing competition with yet more prizes to be won.
At the IronWorks (90 High Street) also on Saturday 10th February there will be Chinese New Year themed craft tables between 10am and 4pm to enjoy.
