Dann and I always go to the Lavender Field to take cute pictures, each and every year, so when I was advertised a sunflower field at Foxes Farm, I knew we were going! We have actually not been to Foxes Farm previously, though they do have a pumpkin patch and we have visited a lot of pumpkin patches over the last few years. But, focusing on the Sunflower Field!
When the weather is looking good, you often want to go out and enjoy it! We are a bit adventure family at the Hadley-Sullivan household, so we have gone to so many different parks, splash parks, and outdoor areas all year around, to explore what they have to offer. Since we have been to so many places over the years, we decided to put together a bunch of the best free play parks in Essex to visit with your children, to better make use of the summer holiday and sunshine! There are a few play park-adjacent places in this list, but they go well with the getting outdoor and playing activities!
We have very nearly seen every single Horrible Histories play. With just two left, when Horrible Histories – Barmy Britain was shown as playing locally, there was no way that we couldn’t attend!

In the United Kingdom, Sea Life is normally a sort of brand of aquariums, that are all around the country. However, there is one Sealife that doesn’t seem to be in this umbrella, and that’s the one owned by Adventure Island, which I believe has been around long before the Sea Life brand. This was super confusing to me at first, especially as Sea Life tends to charge tons to see their aquarium, where as Sealife Adventure is much more affordable and can often be free to go into if there is an event at Adventure Island.
Adventure Island is very close to our home, and so we go so often! Though Adventure Island is an amusement park and arcade, there is Adventure Golf attached to it, which allows people to pay a fee to take on one of two mini-golf courses. We have passed this on our way into the park several times, and it was finally time to try it out. There are two different courses at the Adventure Golf that you can take on and we went for the one that sort of moved above the other, getting some height in the course!
