Essex Day

Essex Day, also known as St Cedd's Day, is our yearly county day that provides a great opportunity for us to appreciate what makes Essex such a wonderful county to live in and visit. Essex has such rich culture and heritage, with many attractions and days out for people of all ages to enjoy and learn more about our history. Explore our stunning countryside, stroll along the coastlines, or pay a visit to one of our Roman towns and cities. There’s an abundance of days out to choose from to celebrate St Cedd’s Day this year – check them out below!

This Essex Day, we are asking you to nominate a person or past event that you think deserves a Blue Plaque in Essex. We'll be selecting our favourite to commission! Learn more here.
