This summer head to the Essex Country Parks for the launch of the new Mini Explorers trails to help nurture your children’s love of numbers and discover the Summer Read on the Road too.

An excellent, free day for families with young children, you’ll enjoy sunny story times, fun forest school activities and of course the new Mini Explorers trails. Spot the animals, solve the sums and enter the prize draw to win. You’ll also be able to sign up to the Summer Reading Challenge on the day, discover the new ‘Read and count with me under a tree’ family book bags available to borrow and be inspired by the team at Talk, Listen and Cuddle.

The events will be at Essex Country Parks at the beginning of the school summer holidays from around 10.00am to 2.00pm.
