The Essex Fire Museum is open every Tuesday and Thursday over the school holiday. We don’t have enough volunteers to run family fun days each week (with different stands and activities) but families are welcome to attend and have a look at the artefacts we have on site.
This might suit some people who prefer a quieter environment. Entrance to the museum is always free but we would still like people to message us before coming, just so we can keep the main station informed of numbers. Our contact is: museum@essex-fire.gov.uk
We have three family fun days coming up at the Museum also. These will need to be booked via Eventbrite:
| Sunday 27th July 2025 | Essex Fire Museum Open Day Tickets, Sun 27 Jul 2025 at 10:30 | Eventbrite |

| Sunday 31st August 2025 | Essex Fire Museum Open Day Tickets, Sun 31 Aug 2025 at 10:30 | Eventbrite |
There will be opportunities for families to get involved in history trails around the museum, spot hazards in our fire safety room, partake in craft activities and a sit on our fire engines (and squirt water😊).
The museum is free entry (but visits are by appointment only……..as we are on the site of an operational fire station).
Suggested last admissions are 2.30pm. This is just so that people have enough time to experience everything on site.
