Sugababes to open new Essex music venue

The Sugababes will open a new entertainment venue in Essex this weekend.

The girl group will perform at The Venue at Seawick Holiday Village on Saturday to help encourage more live music and entertainment in the county.

Other acts to perform at the 3,000-capacity arena in the coming weeks will include Ricky Tomlinson and Essex-born X Factor contestant Austin Drage.

The Sugababes recently confirmed two summer concerts in association with the Forestry Commission.
