We Love Santa Claus and we hope you do too! Come and see the big red fella, his jolly little elves and their magical, musical sleigh as we come to a street near you.  Across ten nights in November and December!  As well as all our usual routes around Little Clacton, Great Clacton and Holland on Sea, this year we’re also going to be paying a special visit to our busy elves at Morrisons to spread some festive joy while you’re shopping for your turkey, cheeseboard and yule logs. Helping raise some funds for their charitable partner, Together for Short Lives.

We’re really looking forward to seeing all our amazing supporters again very soon, so don’t forget to save those pennies, dust off the Christmas pyjamas and enjoy.

This exhibition of work by all female, or female identifying Essex based artists, curated by Jane Stewart, looks at the idea of what an ‘Essex Bird’ actually is. Is it a rather derogatory and outdated term for a woman from Essex or does it have more to do with the abundance and variety of birdlife that lives in Essex? Using a vast array of media including print, paint, photography, digital media, sculpture, fabric and even old books, these women have created an eclectic mix of representations of the Essex Bird.

The Tower is currently only open weekends 10 til 4 in November and December. If you are driving to the tower access is currently via Seawick, whilst seawall improvement works take place.

Open to all
