Kursaal Comeback

For the last 9 months Concrete Culture have been focusing on the Kursaal.

We’ve been talking to the people of the town about their thoughts on what the Kursaal is, was, and should be. Every step of the way we have prioritised conversation with the community, believing this is the most important and exciting part of shaping its future success. We have been making incredible progress towards making sure this icon is preserved and restored and are inching closer towards the goal of the Kursaal being an active, open and inclusive space. Find out below how you can play your part…

We look forward to delivering the results of our phase two consultation, letting you know what the people of Southend have decided. The results will be used to feed into future conversations and decision making.

The Kursaal conversation continues...

A huge thank you to everyone that filled in our first survey! We are still working hard on our efforts to take back the Kursaal.

Using all the ideas and suggestions we have put together some more in depth questions. We want to make sure the town says what it becomes, so please help us further by filling out Consultation Phase Two!

It should take no more than 20 minutes to complete this survey.
