ELP-kidsSummer holidays in Essex

From the start of the summer in early June, there is so much going on in the local area, you would be mad not to make the most of what Mersea Island and nearby Colchester have to offer by making a break of it at Waldegraves. Why not treat dad to a weekend away for Fathers’ Day in June and book in for a Sunday Lunch at The Granary Restaurant.

In July, School is out for Summer marking the start of 6 whole weeks of fun. Spend the day splashing about in our outdoor swimming pool, kids club, family fun days and much more.

Make use of our boat slipway with your boat or jetski. Launch from our safe beach for hours of fun in the water at high tide.

Whether the weather is hot & sunny or your typical British Summer time, you can guarantee a holiday to remember with Waldegraves Family Holiday Park!

 


 

Our Mersea Island holiday parkDiscover the local area with a stay at our holiday park

Visitors to Mersea Island can enjoy exploring the local village and relax in one of the many eateries overlooking the harbour, known locally as Mersea Hard, or even have a go at a spot of crabbing. On the East side of the Island you will find Cudmore Grove Country Park which is home to native wildlife. Here you can also take the foot ferry across to nearby Brightlingsea and Point Clear St Osyth.

Mersea Island has a reputation for great food- and seafood in particular. And for those who like nothing more than fresh fish or oysters, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a local eatery! One of the most popular is the Company Shed, which has gained a reputation for exquisite locally caught seafood.
