This year’s Southend Art Trail is about to be launched with a host of talented artists set to display their work.

The trail kicks off with a preview event at Gleneagles Hotel, next Friday, June 14, from 6.30pm to 8pm.

Among those with work on show is fine art graduate, Lily Sexton, with her fun portrayal of icons Sir Tom Jones and Sir Elton John.

Big Tom and Little Elton are on display in the unlikely venue of Greggs, in Southend High Street.

After trying out Greggs vegan sausage rolls, Lily, 25, from Shoebury, said: “It’s just nice to see Southend is still buzzing with creatives.

“The brings life to the town.”

All are welcome to attend the preview event.

Full details of the popular annual trail are yet to be released.
