Join in the fun at the FINALE of Essex Book Festival and Kinetika's collaborative story-gathering project, COLLECTING DREAMS, SHIFTING FUTURES: a community celebration of Harwich’s fascinating heritage and coastline, which forms part of the inspirational nationwide Beach of Dreams project.

After an early start on the beach with a Know Your Beach Workshop led by local educator and environmental campaigner Libby Scarfe, participants will have the opportunity to take part in the Beach of Dreams silk-flag procession through town, followed by mini-film screenings in the Electric Palace Cinema.

For those who want to get the creative juices going, join spoken word artist TriggerBliss and digital artist Marley Karazimba for writing and film-making workshops.
