Things

There's
so much to do in Essex, all you need to do is work out when you're free
and you're bound to find something on! Just choose your area and take a
look at the Essex Mums calendars, featuring
events, classes, groups, sports - everything from a picnic in the park

Want
to know what's near you?
Take
a look at the Essex Mums map
to find information about what's on near you - you can search by
postcode, or look for a particular area, and can find details of parent
& toddler groups, classes, clubs, nurseries and things to do
both
indoors and outdoors. Once you've found somewhere, check out
the Places to Go
section
for more
information about it, or just browse for ideas.
Looking
for somewhere to eat?
The
Family-Friendly
Eats
section contains listings and reviews of restaurants and
cafes,
so that parents make informed choices about where their family can
enjoy a meal, and where might be best to avoid. Hopefully over time we
will be able to award establishments certificates of
family-friendliness, based on what the users of Essex Mums have said.
Great
shopping ideas
Looking for great gifts, fairtrade or handmade toys, clothes that are a bit different to what's on the High Street, or just something to treat yourself? You'll find it all and more on the Alternative Shopping Guide!
