The Visit Essex Team

Half term fun in Essex...
 

Before you know it, the May half term will be upon us... but don't worry, Essex has a huge range of family-friendly activities for you all to enjoy. Here's some of our favourites;

1. Try your hand at some of our traditional Victorian lawn games at Audley End House and Gardens in Saffron Walden. 
2. Jump into half term at Airhop. With sites in Colchester and Chelmsford, a trip to one of their trampoline parks is sure to burn off some energy! 
3. Take a trip to Lee Valley Animal Adventure Park to meet your favourite superheroes and princesses or be transported to a realm of magic and wonder at Wivenhoe House's Princess Afternoon Tea. 
4. All aboard for a day of unlimited rides in a vintage diesel train at East Anglian Railway Museum in Wakes Colne - a firm favourite with families. 
5. Calling all budding gardeners... the RHS Family Garden Festival is one for you!
6. Ditch the screens for Just Get Over It - a 90 minute outdoor obstacle adventure. Mud guaranteed! 
7. With a line-up you won't want to miss, Hopefield Animal Sanctuary's Family Festival is one for your diary. 
8. Head to the seaside for Park Inn by Radisson's Family Fun Day, with live entertainment, bouncy castle and family friendly games.
