Arbonauts are creating a new work for East Beach in Shoeburyness, called SILT, that will be a key performance piece in the landscape for Estuary 2021 - the large-scale arts festival taking place across 83 miles of South Essex and North Kent coastline. SILT will be performed this autumn, on the last weekend of September - 24th and 25th in the tidal pool at East Beach in Shoeburyness, Essex.
Estuary 2021 would like to extend a huge thank you to all the many partners who have supported the development, the planning, the creation and the delivery of the festival over the last few years, and in particular the last, most challenging of years in recent history.
