Have a Romantic Meal at Smith’s

Go for a Beach Day at Clacton-on-Sea

Clacton-on-Sea is one of Essex’s best beaches, and it’s a rightfully tempting destination when you just want to laze around under the sun on a good day. There are plenty of amenities to keep you occupied, and there are also lifeguards in the area to keep you safe. 

 

Play Interactive Games at Immersive Gamebox Lakeside

Immersive Gamebox Lakeside is a new-age immersive gaming experience that brings you into the gameplay through touch screens, motion sensors, and surround sound. Play games that transform you into a CIA agent, a Squid Game (based on the Netflix series) player, or even a sheep! 

 

Go Go-Karting at Teamsport Basildon

Teamsport Basildon is an indoor go-karting venue with a two-level track of more than 500 metres. If you and your partner both have a need for speed, gear up and race a few laps. Afterwards, you can celebrate your wins at the in-house bar!

 

Visit the Colchester Zoo

A trip to Colchester Zoo offers a quiet afternoon where you and your partner can feel closer to nature. If you want the visit to be more intimate, you can book a private session that comes with a bottle of bubbly, a bouquet of flowers, and a souvenir autograph with a species you choose to spend your date with.

 

Get Physical at Wild Forest Gym

Wild Forest Gym is one of the UK’s best obstacle training centres and natural movement gyms. You can get physical with your date—climbing, crawling, jumping, throwing, lifting, dragging, and running along thirty-two race-sized obstacles, a jump course, an outdoor gym, and technical trail runs.

 

Ride a Boat Down Dedham Vale

Dedham Vale boasts beautiful scenery, and is known for two lakes where several rivers converge together. Hire a boat and make your way down the river for a romantic date. There’s also a vineyard in the area where you can end your day with an English wine-tasting flight.

Go Back in Time at the Audley End House
