Why choose Essex Outdoors?

Welcome to the natural choice for outdoor fun and learning.

Over 100,000 visitors a year have embraced their passion at our 4 thrilling activity centres in Essex for over 50 years.

Why do people keep coming back? It’s not just the exciting pursuits – from archery and climbing, through to power boating and sailing. It’s not simply nature’s inspiration, with pristine air that energises the spirit either. It’s not even the sense of achievement, of conquering challenges with style alone. Only by bringing all these things together do we offer you a truly rewarding experience.

Book with confidence

Book with confidenceWhilst none of us can predict what is coming over the coming months or even next year, we think it’s important to keep creating memorable moments for children, so we have created a COVID-19 booking guarantee.

Book with Essex Outdoors and we guarantee full cancellation and refund for your school and parents. This applies to both Activity Days and School Residentials.
