Five things to see and do in Essex this August

Posted: Friday 19 July 2019

What's on in Essex

There's lots to see and do in Essex over the summer months. Here are our top five suggestions for August:

[1] Since Essex is home to the legendary jam company Wilkin and Sons of Tiptree, a visit to the Tiptree factory and museum this summer is a must. Here you can sample fruit jams and preserves before boarding a tractor for a tour of the farms to see the fruits growing.

[2] Don't tell anyone, but here in Essex is a top secret nuclear bunker that you can explore…Find out about its three lives as it moved from being first a RAF ROTOR station, then a civil defence centre, and finally a Regional Government HQ.

[3] If you're at a loose end over the August Bank Holiday weekend check out the Essex Sausage and Cider Music Festival. The event takes place at Barleylands Farm, Billericay and is two action-packed days for all to enjoy

[4] Head to the ancient town of Maldon and discover one of the most picturesque spots in the county. The oldest part of the town sits on a hill overlooking the Blackwater Estuary, providing stunning views and beautiful coastal walks. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also explore the waterways via canoe or rowing-boat, or you can find your inner angler and try your hand at fishing.

[5] Finally, for those looking to entertain the kids for an afternoon, why not enjoy an afternoon of singing and dancing with a Touch of Little Mix on Tuesday 6th August? A show not to be missed by the fans!
