THAT'S A WRAP!
Southend City Jam is over for another year, but what an absolute belter it's been! We've had wind and rain, but that's not stopped over 200 artists from creating some incredible artwork around the City Centre and seafront.

We'd love to know what you thought of City Jam, so head over to our website and have your say!

🙌WHAT A WEEKEND! 🙌
The live part of Southend City Jam may have finished now, but it's not over yet!

All the temporary walls and structures will be in situ for the next two weeks (until 13th September 2026) so there's still plenty of time to see the incredible artworks created over this year's Jam.

And, of course, the permanent walls are here all year round for you to enjoy! 👉 www.southendcityjam.co.uk
