Best Easter Trails in Essex

[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.

You can read our full review or check out Cammas Hall on their website.

Easter Trails at Cammas Hall

We have been to Cammas Hall for Halloween, bonfire night, and fruit picking over the years; they are just always running different themed activities, providing for a fun and easy family day out. This year, we heard about their Easter Trails and wanted to check them out! The trail itself can be pre-booked, with their little check-in booth at the start, They’ve got decorations, photo areas, and characters dotted around, but first we went to grab some tulips.

Spring Wreath Cupcake Course with Sweet Designs by Jennie

If you have been reading along for a while, you’ll know Amelia and I go to a little mother-daughter cupcake decorating class each and every month. Last month, we went towards the very end, to attend one of the wreath cupcake classes. Sweet Designs by Jennie doesn’t do too many wreaths – they are sort of bigger classes – though she has mentioned she will be designing and adding more, which is exciting. The wreath cupcake courses have us decorating 10 cupcakes each, instead of 6, which is a lot of fun!

Fancy Meal at Brinchi Steakhouse

When it comes to trying out new places to eat, Dann and I are always excited! At the very back of the town centre in Harlow, Brinchi Steakhouse has opened in this year. This isn’t the most pleasant part of the town, with parking being primarily at the other side towards the Water Gardens, but it’s well worth the walk! Brinchi Steakhouse has an interesting menu, containing pasta, pizza, Turkish food and of course, lots of steak and beef-based dishes. Dann and I went on a random Sunday for a massive lunch, where the staff were very welcoming.

Exploring the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery

As parents, we like to encourage all of our children’s interests. For Robin, that’s primarily gymnastics and playing guitar. For Kai it’s going to the gym and playing DnD, for Amelia, it’s arts and drumming. So, when our local art gallery announced the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery last year, we encouraged Amelia to pick out a photo and enter, though she didn’t make it in, she was mentioned and felt very proud of that! This year, she and Robin decided to do a painting.
