Established on the current Clacton site in 1899, and run independently by the West Cliff Trust, the West Cliff is the only surviving purpose-built theatre in Clacton, and plays host to professional touring shows and many local amateur dramatic and operatic groups, dance schools, and other youth groups. Its compact auditorium with just under 600 seats, a unique atmosphere and knowledgeable and friendly staff make it Clacton's theatre of choice for artistes and audiences alike. The Stage Door Bar is open prior to, during the interval and after each show, and provides pre-booked meals for selected shows. The lounge may be hired for private functions with or without bar and catering services.
What a find! A lovely place to enjoy a delicious home cooked lunch, sandwiches or home made cakes at reasonable prices in pleasant surroundings and lovely welcoming staff. We always look forward to going there when we have to visit Clacton hospital as it is just across the road. Do give it a try!

Jaywick Martello Tower was built in the early nineteenth century to protect the coastline from French invasion. Today, it is open to the public as an arts, heritage and community space. The Tower hosts a varied programme of exhibitions and events.
We had such a great visit here yesterday - we'd come out to Jaywick to walk on the beach for a bit and get out of the house (we live near Colchester) and were delighted to see the tower was open. We didn't have any cash on us (they ask for a £1 suggested donation) and we did try to give a donation via their card reader but they couldn't get it to work. We'll return with cash to give a proper donation! The person on the door was really lovely anyway and said it was only a suggested donation and not to worry. Really enjoyed the historic display downstairs, loved the artwork upstairs (and another very friendly man explaining the work and the one-way system to make sure we all socially distanced etc). We loved going onto the roof of the tower and looking out over the cannon, imagining what it must have been like waiting for ships to come over the horizon. Nine-year-old daughter really enjoyed the whole experience and so did we. We particularly liked the circular poem engraved around the edge of the path round the building.

The Parish Church of St James, Clacton-on-Sea. A beautiful church designed by the renowned architect Temple Moore. The church hosts a number of normal activities as well as local cultural events from time to time. As a place of worship it is open regularly and visitors are always welcome to come a look around quietly during those services or whenever the building is open. We welcome groups visitors and ask that you get in touch.
