This summer, families across Essex have been enjoying a series of vibrant, hands-on learning experiences through ACL Essex’s Summer Fun sessions, and the excitement is far from over.
From pirate-themed crafting in Maldon to glitter wand making and cardboard ship building, each session has offered children and parents the chance to explore creativity, learn together, and make lasting memories. But these events aren’t limited to one location. With sessions running in centres across the county, there’s still plenty of time to get involved.
Whether you’re in Chelmsford, Colchester, Basildon, or beyond, ACL Essex is offering free, tutor-led activities designed to bring families together through play, learning, and imagination. Each session is carefully planned to be inclusive, engaging, and suitable for all ages.
What’s On Offer?
- Creative crafts and themed activities that spark imagination
- Games and learning experiences designed to support family bonding
- Ideas to take home and continue the fun beyond the classroom
- Online options available, for further learning in September and beyond
Sessions run from 10am to 12pm and 1pm to 3pm, at various ACL centres throughout Essex. Whether you’re looking for something new to do with the kids or want to explore creative learning together, these events are a perfect way to make the most of the summer holidays.
