2012 Olympic Open Weekend
 |
Priory Park was the setting this year for Southend’s 2012 “Open Weekend” – a free event for all ages that was designed to be a part of the national Open Weekend celebrations of three years to go to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, supported by BP, the Premier Partner of the Cultural Olympiad. |

We were of course there featuring Fencing, one of the orginal Olympic sports from the time of both the re-started modern olympics and also Ancient Greece itself. Over 4,900 people visited the Southend 2012 Open Weekend and many took up the chance to have a go at things like Fencing that they’d never tried before - or to simply relax and enjoy the entertainment and sunshine in the lovely surroundings of the park.
