PLAY SOUTHEND NOW OR NEVER!

Have you ever hummed a Lulu lullaby?

When was the last time you walked backwards in silence, towards land?

Play Southend Now or Never! is a unique App for mobile devices that will make you experience Southend in fresh, imaginative and mischievous ways.
Play Southend Now or Never! uses innovative geo-mapping technologies to send visual and audio prompts that suggest specific actions as you walk around town.
The App has been developed by artists Idit Nathan and Helen Stratford in collaboration with Southend residents, Metal and NetPark.
It will be available as a free download from Google Play and the App Store.

Join Helen and Idit for a ‘walkshops’ (12, 2 or 4pm- leaving from METAL arts School pop up) or come and find them any other time between 11-5PM to get the download link for the App and see Chalkwell Park in totally new light…The Walkshops will last approx forty minutes, will be fun and are suitable for all ages. However, under 16 years old should be accompanied by an adult.
