Project Southchurch Kite Festival 2026

Date for your diary are bringing the Airshow back. No not one, the alternative one with kites, a FREE family fun day. Following last years success, following a rather damp start, we thought we would try it again. There will be up to 10 professional kite flyers there with some wonderful looking kites filling the skies of East Southend with colour and enjoyment. Why not spend the day with us take time out at the local hotels, restaurants, cafes and bars. Don't worry if you haven't got a kite, there will be some available from the Project Southchurch gazebo. They are free but we will ask for a donation if you're able of £2. The fun takes place along the Eastern Esplanade between Billy Hundreds Fish n Tapas & Roslin Beach Hotel.
