TO CELEBRATE the weekly firework display on Southend Seafront, Twenty One will be open until 9pm every Saturday with DJs and live music.

The event - which runs every week until November 18 - went off with a bang last weekend, in conjunction with the Purple Festival.

The free seafront fireworks, which are funded by Southend BID are are being accompanied by music for the first time in 21 years and are the biggest displays yet.

It all takes place on City Beach, although Twenty One are keen to point out that a great vantage point is on their roof terrace.

During the displays, Twenty One - a spin-off the the Focal Point Gallery in Elmer Square, Southend - will be serving a range of teas, coffees, wines and beers.

Twenty One is situated on Pier Approach, opposite the pier entrance.
