When trying to deice something to do over the weekend, we ended up finding that there were some escape rooms at Lakeside! Escape Hunt actually is within Boom Battle Bar, which was interesting and slightly hard to find, but we were excited to take on Alice in Puzzleland. It had been a while since we all have done an Escape Room, and we were pumped.

During the Easter Break, we wanted to get along to some new activities. Everywhere was having some sort of Easter special event, so we sort of looked at what would be most interesting and new for our family. That’s when we found Celtic Harmony Camp, which aims to engage children in learning about pre-history. As we have some teenagers, we felt that a half day at Celtic Harmony Camp was best for us, though they do have timed activities going on throughout the day.

I feel like we always go to see some sort of animals during the Easter break. Last Easter we went to the London Zoo, so this time we went to the Whipsnade Zoo, which is also a conservation that has a lot of different animals, a train ride, a butterfly garden, an aquarium, and so much more. As we went during Easter, they had some Easter-related activities but are honestly hosting a bunch of different activities all year long, so there is always something to do.
[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I were invited to the grand opening of St Osyth Priory, which has been renovated, bringing back it’ historic charm. It’s a stunning venue, with a bunch of different aspects to it. During the grand opening, we were able to hear about the renovations, hear from the historian about what has happened in the area, and generally tour the grounds checking out what it currently is and what the future would be.

[Updated on April 10th, 2025 to include more Easter Trails] We tend to go to a lot of seasonal events each year, and as we have explored, we’ve done a ton of different Easter Trails! As spring is full of nice flowers and better weather, taking advantage of the local Easter Trails in Essex and the surrounding areas can be a great way to get out and about with you and your family. Here are the best Easter Trails we’ve been too.
Cammas Hall has an Easter Trail this year, which takes you around the back of their large farm! The Easter Trail does also allow you to pick your own tulip stems, at 50p per steam, before entering a very well decorated area of the forest, filled with clues and riddles, that goes directly through the bluebell forest. It’s very well decorated and includes a wishing wall, where a bunny tells you to make your own Easter Wish. When you get to the end, you are greeted by two bunnies, given some chocolates, and can play on a number of outdoor activities like bowling and slingshots. Inside Cammas Hall, they also have themed ice cream, pizzas and bbq items.
You can read our full review or check out Cammas Hall on their website.
