Things to do with kids in Great Baddow

Great Baddow makes a manageable family outing without heading into central Chelmsford: start with books and stories on the High Street, choose a playground at the Recreation Ground or Baddow Hall Park, and look at local toddler groups when you want a regular morning out. St Mary’s has accompanied play and family church activities, while the Millennium Centre hosts classes and public markets beside the park. Seasonal events have their own tickets and age limits, so choose a particular activity before setting off.

Pair High Street library stories with a Great Baddow playground, or choose a toddler group, sensory class or family church activity. Check seasonal tickets before travelling.
