Did you know that Forbes’ research found that in 2023, approximately 1.6% of children resided only with their fathers after a divorce?

Visiting the Naze Nature Discovery Centre

Visiting the Naze Nature Discovery Centre

Walton-on-the-naze is a nearby beach area that has a massive park that our children enjoy, so when I saw the Kite Festival happening at Naze Nature Discovery Centre, it felt like a good excuse to get beachside at the start of the summer holiday! Each year, the Naze Nature Discovery Centre hosts a kite festival, that allows many people to come and hang out at the centre, viewing kites that get lifted in a special kite zone and flying your own kites outside as well. There is a kite decorating course, however due to how busy our day was, we weren’t sure what time we were going to arrive for the kite festival so didn’t book it up. This activity is quite affordable, but I would recommend booking ahead and making sure you are there for your time slot!
