Experience Southend Pier after dark at this special evening celebration as the pier’s iconic festoon lights are back and switched on for the first time in over 20 years.

Join us from 4pm to 8pm for an opportunity to see the world’s longest pleasure pier shine in a whole new light. 

The official switch-on takes place at 5pm creating a spectacular backdrop across the estuary.

Stay for a cosy evening as the pier sparkles against the night sky, before enjoying the Southend fireworks display at 7:30pm from this unique vantage point. 

Standard pier admission charges apply. Last entry is at 7pm and the last train ashore is at 7:45pm.

Don't miss this historic moment and be among the first to see Southend Pier lit up once again.
