Day Excursions

We make the short journey to the Isle of Sheppey where an excellent guide joins us for a tour of the island. After the tour, we travel to the Criterion Theatre for a feel good show to celebrate St Patrick’s Day. A great show capturing the best of Irish music and comedy in the company of Christopher Gee and Keith Slater. A lunch of sausage & chips is also included.

A cosmopolitan fair featuring a wealth of antique and vintage choice. The event has up to 300 indoor stands, with hundreds more outside (weather permitting). Due to its location, many traders from the continent attend offering something different. With a great selection of jewellery, ceramics, furniture, fabulous garden goods and so much more, this is a weekend fair not to be missed.

We start our day with a visit to the Van Hage Garden Centre near Ware in Hertfordshire. Van Hage is more than just a Garden Centre; offering a treasure-trove of exciting and practical ideas for gardeners and home lovers. After a little time here we make the short journey to Ware Quay where we board our boat for the highlight of the tour. Your 3 hour cruise starts and finishes in the historic town of Ware and whilst onboard you will be served your delicious fish & chip lunch with tea & coffee and all the traditional condiments.

The fair showcases a range of crafts and food stalls as well as many outdoor demonstrations of country sports and activities, including falconry and a chainsaw speed carve competition. A great countryside day out for the whole family.

Why not join us for the Clacton Air Show to watch the thrilling flight displays in the skies over Clacton’s stunning seafront as well as a host of ground events on the West Greensward.
