Ahead of the winter months drawing in and temperatures becoming colder, indoor activities might be more on people’s minds.

A trip to the theatre is certainly something that could fulfil that role, with a whole variety of plays, stand-up comedy and musical performances to potentially see.

In Southend there are two main theatres for locals to visit, with the Cliffs Pavilion and the Palace Theatre.

Here’s what you can go to see at both theatres in October 2021.
