In England, there are these sort of pop-up sculpture trails, where a charity will pick a specific animal and create loads of statues that appear all around an area. Previously, Dann and I checked out the Penguins by the seaside! This time, however, Lions on the Loose have come to our town as they are placed around Harlow, Essex and Loughton.

[Ad- gifted experience] The Essex Summer Fest is a weekend festival, aimed at families, where you can enjoy music, fairground rides, a selection of different booths selling items, food stands, and several different stages full of activities and music!

It’s a very fun time for a very good cause.
