Gateway’s penguin waddles into Southend-on-Sea for sculpture trail! Proud sponsors of Havens Hospices’ family-friendly summer spectacle
Gateway is delighted to be sponsoring Waddle-on-Sea, an exciting local event on behalf of the wonderful charity, Havens Hospices.
Waddle-on-Sea is a showcase of exceptional artistic talent, with 31 large penguin sculptures, sponsored by local businesses, popping up all over Southend-on-Sea and Leigh-on-Sea. You can visit each one by downloading the Waddle-on-Sea app and following the trail. It’s a great opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a fun day out in the sunshine!
Our penguin, Pole Position, was designed by the incredible Mik Richardson and stands proudly at the top of Pier Hill in Southend-on-Sea for the next 6 weeks.
After the success of the previous sculpture trails, Hares about Town (2021) and Herd in the City (2023), we are delighted to be involved once again to help raise much-needed funds for Havens Hospices. Both were hugely popular events that raised thousands, and with the help of the public, we can do it again.
The penguins will stand tall and proud until 3rd September 2025, so don’t miss out!
We would love to see your photos with Pole Position. Follow us on Instagram below to share your snaps and see more images of our penguin!
