12. Leigh Together: The Big Community Wellbeing Lunch

Leigh Together: The Big Community Wellbeing Lunch is a free outdoor event bringing the people of Leigh-on-Sea together for food, music, movement and connection. Taking place in Leigh Library Gardens, the day will begin with a guided silent community sound experience – combining light meditation and uplifting music to encourage joy, confidence and gentle movement in an inclusive and accessible way. Residents will then gather for a shared community lunch accompanied by local live entertainment, creating a vibrant, welcoming space for conversation, neighbourly connection and intergenerational participation. Open to all ages, the event is designed to reduce isolation, promote mental wellbeing and celebrate the strength of our local community. Funding will also enable the purchase of reusable silent disco equipment, allowing us to deliver future free and low-cost wellbeing sessions across Leigh – including beach sunrise sessions, garden gatherings and outdoor community events. Vote for Leigh Together to help create a joyful, connected and healthier neighbourhood.
