Summer in Lee
ChaCha stroll to a bit of Jazz Avenue
Summer in Lee is back for its 8th year where we have a two day event of Music wrapped around pirates, emporium and a funfair all in aid of fund raising for Children with Cancer UK.
The event was originally started in 2016 by Trevor Ricketts who sadly passed away in February; so to remember the great man he was, there will be a tribute to him over the weekend!
Get the dates of 16th & 18th August in your diary to come and join us on the seafront here in Lee on the Solent. We look forward to seeing you there.
