20 Things you must do in Essex before you Pop your Clogs!
A ‘bucket list’ is definitely the ‘in thing’ at the moment, but why go to far-flung places when you have such fantastic things you can (and must!) experience in Essex before the inevitable happens?! See below.

20 Essentials for your Bucket List!
3. Wilkin & Sons of Tiptree

Jamie (Oliver) and Jimmy (Doherty) love it (they are filming for a whole month on it in September), and we love it too – Southend Pier the longest pleasure pier in the World! You can take a trip on the train to the end or if you’re feeling energetic, take a leisurely stroll (or sprint) – it’s 1.3 miles long.
14. Grayson Perry’s ‘House for Julie’

A must (for the whole family!), where history ‘comes to life’. Experience a real life period drama as you explore life above and below stairs at this decadent mansion. The authentic Victorian Service Wing, glorious gardens, Jacobean stable block and intricate interiors are all waiting to be discovered.
