Two Southend-on-Sea-based organisations have united to launch a new partnership to produce over 30 fabulous festive parties at the iconic Cliffs Pavilion this December.

Southend-on-Sea based producer Veritas Entertainment and Southend Theatres are joining forces to bring brunch, lunch and dinner events to the Maritime Room at the Cliffs throughout the festive season.

Starting on Tuesday 2 December, the season will feature a variety of acts including The Rat Pack – A Swingin’ Christmas at the Sands, Andres Cruz as Bruno Mars in 24K Bruno, The Carpenters Experience, Southend favourite Fanny Galore, and Just My Imagination - the ultimate celebration of Motown legends, The Temptations.

New Year’s Eve is always a fantastic night at the Cliffs and 2025 will be no exception. Expect something extra special to ring in 2026 – full details to be announced soon.

Veritas Entertainment is an award-winning theatre show producer and promoter based on Southend High Street. The company has been providing entertainment for hundreds of events at some of the most prestigious venues throughout the UK for 13 years.

The Cliffs Pavilion on Station Road, Westcliff has been entertaining Essex audiences since 1964, bringing some of the biggest names in entertainment to the region. Alongside the Palace Theatre, the Cliffs is operated by Trafalgar Theatres, part of Trafalgar Entertainment.

Mark Halliday, Founder and Managing Director at Veritas Entertainment said: "We are delighted to be entering into this new partnership with the team at the region’s leading entertainment venue. We are also excited to be working closely with Trafalgar Events. With our hands-on events experience and access to some of the best artists and shows from around the UK, this new endeavour is set to be a huge success and the first of many such collaborations."

Nick Parr, Theatre Director at the Cliffs Pavilion and the Palace Theatre commented: "Every year, we entertain thousands of customers across all our venues and this year we wanted to ensure that our festive parties were truly a fabulous experience. The Veritas team has become a brilliant partner for us – and our Christmas and New Year celebrations will be the best in the City. Celebrate Christmas with us at the Cliffs!"

Hayley Garrey, Head of Events for Trafalgar Theatres added: "Trafalgar Theatres’ Events and Hospitality team hosts hundreds of events across the UK every year and Christmas is always our busiest season.
