Village Green is a multi-art form and music festival, produced by Metal Culture in the picturesque grounds of Chalkwell’s beautiful Victorian park on the outskirts of Southend on Sea.
A key to the success of the festival is the calibre of acts and the diversity of performances, which in previous years has included Wilko Johnson, Sam Duckworth, The Skints, Ballet Black, the Royal Opera House, Molly Nyman Harry Escott and the Samphire Band, Passenger, James Taylor Quartet, Camera Obscura, Carleen Anderson, Ed Harcourt, John Hegley and, local boy, Phill Jupitus jumping on stage with the Blockheads.
But the strength of the annual festival is its family centred ethos – where children and adults can have fun with strictly NO face painting or bouncy castles – every activity is arts-led.
This year Billy Bragg and Stereo MCs are among the headliners and among the many stages you’ll find the Phoenix FM busking stage!
We’ve got two pairs of tickets – worth £27.50 per pair – to give away. To win, tell us which major English river overlooks the park. It’s as simple as that!

The competition is now closed. Winners will be announced shortly.
