About the event

Go wild this Christmas with a day of outdoor festive family fun. Get creative with our natural winter crafts, cook yourself a tasty treat on the campfire, adventure around the reserve as you complete the trail, and enter our colouring competition. The elves have even bought a small gift for everyone on your return. We are hoping Billie the Badger will make a special appearance, too!

Why not make a day of it? You can do some Christmas shopping while you are here, and there will even be a special offer on for participants of a sweet treat in the tearoom. 

This event is suitable for children aged 2+. Please come dressed suitably for the weather, as activities will take place outside.

FAQs

๐Ÿ“Where do we meet? 

Meet on the mound behind the visitor centre.

๐ŸฅพWhat should we wear? 

Most of our events are fully outdoors, and you need to come dressed for the weather.  We recommend layers (top and bottom), which can get mucky.  Wellies (with thick socks) and waterproofs are a good shout if you have them. Festive attire is encouraged!

๐ŸŒWhere are you based? 

We are located in Mid-Essex, local to Chelmsford, Ingatestone, Billericay, Wickford, South Woodham Ferrers, and Basildon.

๐Ÿš—Is there parking? 

Yes. We have a large free car park.

๐Ÿš‡Can we get to you on public transport? 

We are accessible by bus, with bus stops outside the centre and 10 minutes away. We are not accessible by train.

๐ŸšปAre there toilets? 

Toilets are located inside the visitor centre. 

โ˜•Is there a Cafe or shop? 

The visitor centre has a shop and cafรฉ serving hot and cold drinks, snacks, ice cream, and light lunches. 

๐Ÿ•โ€๐ŸฆบCan we bring a dog? 

Assistance dogs are welcome at our events. 

โ™ฟIs it wheelchair accessible? 

Our reserve pathways are flat and easy to push wheelchairs, but our activities mound can be slippery, which could make it difficult to push wheelchairs up.
