We have gone to every pumpkin patch we could drive too over the last few years! There is something just fantastic about visiting a pumpkin patch in Essex. Whether you are looking to pick out the perfect carving pumpkin or just hoping to have a spooky day out, there are plenty of options and so many places that have little unique features. We’ve put together the best pumpkin patches to visit in Essex, so you can explore with your own family.
Another month full of travel and adventure! The weather has been fantastic, we have got up to a lot of fun activities, and there was so much Pokemon! I really enjoyed the month of June and cannot wait until school is out. As a part of Project 365, where bloggers are sharing a photo of every single day of the year, I have written about June. Some post daily, some weekly, and other’s monthly. You should check out all the blogs at the very bottom of this post and hear about our active life.
As a part of Project 365, I have a photo and little diary entry from every single day of the month of April. Some bloggers are posting theirs weekly, others monthly, but all of them are a little look into every day of their lives. April, for me, saw three different countries, Easter break, lovely weather, and lots of staples like Pokemon Go and board games. It was Robin’s birthday in April as well, which is always a fun celebration. Check out the bottom of this post to see some of the other bloggers taking part in this project as well.
[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.
Meet the Easter Bunnies at Cammas Hall
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.
[Ad- gifted products] When it comes to granola, we often eat them as parfaits with yogurt, a staple easy breakfast for our household. There are actually a lot of different granolas on the market; some with fruit pieces, some with seeds, some that are quite plain in flavor too. Lizi’s Low Sugar Nuts & Seeds Granola is an actually a pretty fun granola, despite saying low in sugar, with a bunch of seeds and nuts throughout it. Robin had a fun time picking out the different seeds and trying them individually, as she hadn’t had seeds before! We also tried their Maple and Pecan, which has my favorite nuts in them and a nice amount of sweetness.
