Essex Police Museum

We aim to preserve the history of policing in Essex whilst making learning fun. The Essex Police Museum has lots of activities and events throughout the year for all ages. 

Kids Club

The Essex Police Museum runs a Kids Club loyalty scheme. Each eligible activity you purchase earns you one stamp. Collect 4 and your 5th activity is free!  

Anyone with unclaimed stickers from 2019/2020 can still use them. When you next visit the museum show a member of staff your booklet and they will transfer it over to the new format. 

(One loyalty card per child)

 

East Anglia Pass holders get 2 for 1 on any Kids Club activity. To redeem the offer show your pass on purchase (Not redeemable with any other offer).
