Poppies on the Pier

This November, Southend Pier will be transformed into a moving sea of red as thousands of knitted and crocheted poppies are installed along its full 1.33-mile length. Poppies on the Pier is set to be the UK’s largest Remembrance art installation, created entirely from handmade poppies donated by people from across the world.

Throughout the event, the pier will become a 1.33 mile long outdoor museum, where you can learn all about the pier’s valuable role during World War I and II.
