Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Old MacDonalds Educational Farm Park

Old MacDonalds Educational Farm Park has been created to offer a greater understanding of our British farm livestock, wildlife and countryside. The new buildings follow the traditional Essex-barn style, set in 17 acres of pasture and woodland with hard paths around the site to ensure dry feet and access for wheelchairs with many opportunities to get close to the birds and animals and interpretation displayed on paddocks and pens to heighten the awareness of the animals. Picnic sites, playground, baby changing room, disabled toilets and first aid post are a few facilities.
