On Sunday 26 July 2026, Southend-on-Sea in Essex will join a global cultural movement as fans gather for a unique performance event at a local landmark. Southend Pier is the venue for The Most Wuthering Heights Day, which invites residents and visitors to celebrate the music of Kate Bush and the literature of Emily Brontë.
The gathering encourages participants to dress in red and recreate the famous dance moves from the 1978 music video for the song Wuthering Heights. This community-led activity is part of an international fan-led movement that sees similar tribute events held in public spaces across the world, from Paris to Sydney.
The afternoon is designed to be a low-cost experience that brings people together through shared music and dance. By hosting this event, the pier joins several other UK coastal towns in offering a specific cultural attraction for both local residents and visiting fans of the artist.
