Southend Pier is set to become the centrepiece of an ambitious ‘yarnbomb’ tribute this November, as thousands of knitted and crocheted red poppies are installed along its entire 1.33-mile stretch in the lead-up to Remembrance Day.

WE NEED YOUR POPPIES

Contributions are welcomed from anyone who wants to take part. Every handmade poppy donated will help honour those lost in conflict and bring people together through creativity and remembrance.
