Westgate Day announce Free Bus Service in conjunction with Stagecoach

Westgate-On-Sea will be celebrating with the launch of the first ever Westgate Day on the 21st July with a wide-ranging community event from 12noon to 9pm on the greens at Sea Road which will include a performance stage which will have local people and groups from across the community showcasing their talents plus a Fun Fair suitable for all ages.

There will also be an Artisan Marketplace staged in Adrian Squares in the Town. Offering a wide range of produce, from local made crafts, food and drink.

To aid with easy access to the event Westgate-on-Sea Town Council have agreed with Stagecoach to run a FREE bus service for the day, with the bus service being sponsored by Stagecoach. The FREE bus will be operating on the day running from 1pm to 8pm and stops are as follows:- Westgate Community Centre, Cambourne Avenue, Hengist Road, Sea Road (o/s Swan public house), Sea Road (o/s Pavilion), Sea Road (end of the road), Station Road (o/s Train Station), Minster Road (o/s Library) and back to Westgate Community Centre.

Part of the initiative is to involve both the young and old of the town learning from each other. As such local schools, youth group and care homes will be participating in Westgate-on Sea related projects leading to a prize-giving on the Anniversary of the 18^th July. The projects encourage discovery of the Town’s history, culture and environment as well as intergenerational relationships where young and not-so-young can learn from each other.

Then the Celebration day on 21st July is for all locals and visitors to come together, enjoy the festivities, explore the town and have fun.

The newly-created Town Anniversary is to be 18th July every year and be known as – Westgate Day. This Town Anniversary is designed to raise awareness of the town, its uniqueness and give an official annual day where the locals can celebrate the pride of our unique Town.

Each year we will increase and build on the year before becoming bigger and better every year, so come an be part of the first ever Westgate Day!

Our motto/tag for all social media is #Westgate Proud which we would like people to use now and, on the day, when posting images on social media.
