Day excursions

Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park is an award winning wildlife park, and rare breeds farm based in the heart of Suffolk. From pigs to polar bears the park is a centre of excellence for British rare breeds as well as home to camels, primates, tapir and crocodiles amongst other animals. After our visit here we make the short journey to the delightful Maldon with time to stroll through Promenade Park and along the waters edge to complete your day. Please note that due to the nature of the terrain, some paths in the wildlife park and farm are steep, uneven and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Established over 40 years ago, The great Pitsea Market is a bustling market offering a wide variety of products and is renowned for its bargain prices and lively atmosphere. With over 100 stalls and plenty of cafés and coffee shops, it’s a perfect way to start your day looking for a bargain. After time here we travel on to the popular Southend-on-Sea for a relaxing summer afternoon. Why not give your feet a rest and sit by the coast with an ice cream?

It’s time to emerge from Behind Closed Doors and Baby Come Out Tonight. So don your Coat Of Many Colours as we head to the Tereza Joanne for afternoon tea with the queen of country. Join us on board between 9 to 5, well maybe not quite that long Jolene, and take a peek out the window to see those Islands In The Stream, in the Calm Of The Water. A 2 course lunch will be served to complement your afternoon.

Good Golly Miss Molly, don’t be a Cathy’s Clown as it’s time to dust off those Blue Suede Shoes, and get Dreamin as en-route to the restaurant we make a short stop at Herne Bay. After time here we visit this new venue for you to enjoy lunch and some Great Balls Of Fire entertainment. We travel down to Millies Restaurant in Westgate-on-Sea to savour a Heartbeat two course lunch of fish & chips with a cheesecake dessert.

We travel to Chenies Manor in Hertfordshire for a wonderful day to browse amongst expert horticulturists, garden items, crafts, food court and so much more. Lunch can also be purchased and tea is served in the Manor Gardens or the Garden Room. Following our visit here we drop in for a little time at the delightful Cathedral City of St Albans.
