The Essex Coastal Challenge is back! Join the team wherever you are, whatever your fitness level, and be part of something big this August.

Explore wildlife events, seasonal activities, crafts and outdoor experiences designed for children, families and adults.

Bat events in Essex offer guided walks, bat watching and expert-led wildlife experiences using bat detectors at dusk.

Make this summer one to remember with family-friendly events across Essex Wildlife Trust's nature reserves and Nature Discovery Centres.
