Become a sponsor of the Big Beach Bang, one of Southend’s longest-running annual events, with roots stretching back to the 1970s at Roots Hall. Nearly 50 years on, the event continues to draw thousands of residents to the seafront each November, and has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for local causes including Havens Hospices, Essex Air Ambulance, the Southend Blind Welfare Organisation, and HARP.

The event runs entirely through volunteer effort and the support of community-minded businesses. Sponsorship is what makes it possible, and without it the Big Beach Bang simply could not happen. For your business, it is an opportunity to reach a large, engaged local audience while making a genuine contribution to something that matters to this city.

With up to 4,000 visitors on the night and a promotional campaign that kicks off weeks in advance, your brand gets sustained exposure across the city before the event even begins.

Here’s how we spread the word:

• Thousands of email subscribers receiving regular event communications
• Active social media presence across multiple platforms
• Paid advertising campaign running in the lead-up to the event
• High-visibility printed materials distributed across local shops and schools, and displayed at the event
• Large outdoor screen running on a loop on the night, featuring sponsor logos
