From the moment I arrived Sam's calming, open nature put me at ease. The Clinic/treatment room is a bubble of relaxation and serenity, engaging all the senses with an array of delightful scents and beautiful products. The treatment itself was relaxing, soothing and far more healing than I had anticipated. I left feeling, calmer, inspired and more centred than I have in years. These positive effects have lasted for days if not weeks afterwards. Which is why i have decided to continue these sessions with Sam. I would highly recomend the natural health sanctuary for your healing ❤

A super time was had by our family attempting The Last Testament on a wet Sunday afternoon. Attention to detail on the design and furnishings was terrific and we enjoyed the variety of puzzles, clues and locks, but most of all the atmosphere. We were well but not too much supported and managed to finish with 3 minutes left, which obviously made it particularly satisfactory. Everyone contributed in differnet ways. A special shout out to Joanna the Game Master who was enthusiastic and informative and made the whole thing very enjoyable and was able to give us quite a bit of time at the end too. I'd heartily recommend.

Chelmsford Cathedral

A Cathedral in the heart of the city centre. Open daily for worship, prayer or simply to look round. There are many free concerts and exhibitions running throughout the year. See the Cathedral website for details; chelmsfordcathedral.org.uk There is no entry charge and we are situated just five minutes from the bus and railway stations.

Attended a further lunchtime concert, They occur on most Fridays from 12.30. Although it would be worth checking just in case there would be a need to change the schedule. Teas, coffees, sandwiches and cakes are sold from 12 noon by the most charming volunteers. This time it was the Brentwood School Big Band plus Choir. We have attended these lunchtime concerts many times over the years and would consider this Band to be the best event on their annual schedules.

Essex Police Museum

Essex police museum has one of the best displays I have seen and really give you an insight in to the history of the policing of Essex going back over a 100 years, lots of things for kids to interact with and a really good way to show youngster of today that policemen are there to help.
