Ever wanted to know what it feels like to be an Olympian? Well you can pretend to be one when you ‘ride the rapids’ at the White Water Centre at Lee Valley – the only purpose built venue for the Olympics, and where Team GB won the canoe slalom in 2012.
The oldest surviving in the world! Experience the ‘silent wilderness’ – everyone comments on it – and attend an event where you get to watch the vintage aircraft fly in – just incredible!
Visit Hedingham Castle for a great family day out and a memorable experience. Bring a picnic and explore the beautiful gardens and lakes then take time to explore the 110ft tall Norman Keep.
One of the oldest, least altered, purpose-built cinemas in Britain. Open Friday-Sunday, watch the latest blockbusters, west end streamings or enjoy live music with refreshments available in screen.
Jamie (Oliver) and Jimmy (Doherty) love it (they film Friday Night Feast here), and we love it too – Southend Pier the longest pleasure pier in the World – yes really!
