Amazing experience, loved it. Quick orientation and in we go. It's absolutely terrifying, seriously intense and a lot of fun. If you play COD Zombies or watch zombie films and think"Yeah, I'd be fine" then this is your chance to prove it!

We had a great time at Clue HQ. They kindly let us book same day and our gamemaster had clearly stayed late just so we could play which was much appreciated! Gameplay was very original and we really enjoyed the little twist and turns. Thanks again for fitting us in and thank you to lovely gamemaster who stayed and gave us a great game!

Visited in late Aug 2020, and had a lovely tour around the property. It is ticketed entry due to Covid, so only small numbers at a time. We felt very safe. The staff were very well informed and friendly. Small café serving snacks, sandwiches and cakes, but nice food, and drinks. Beautiful gardens and grounds to walk around at leisure.

Hopefield Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit organisation caring for around 500 sick, unwanted and mistreated animals. The sanctuary is based in Brentwood, Essex. We care for a variety of animals including horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, pigs etc. and more exotic animals such as reptiles, parrots and other aviary birds, raccoons and many more. As a small charity, Hopefield relies upon donations and support from volunteers to be able to continue this work. It is with thanks to the continued support of volunteers and supporters that we have been able to achieve our aims thus far. Tickets MUST be pre-booked via our website prior to visiting. If you arrive at the sanctuary without booking, you will not be granted access.

I Visited hopefield today with my husband and 8 year old a son which was the first time since it reopened following lockdown due to Covid 19. It was so lovely to be back !! They have worked so hard to make it ready for reopening with one way systems , expanded pathways to see the horses , a Marquee to sit and eat food from the cafe . We thoroughly enjoyed our day and loved seeing all the animals from the horses , ponies, Alpacas , Pigs, birds, cats , rabbits and plenty more . We have always loved Hopefield and the passion the founders and staff/volunteers have for the animals . It has a special place in our hearts . What an amazing peaceful place these animals now have after their abusive pasts. It makes me so happy to see them with a lovely happy ending that is Hopefield . Please visit and support such a worthwhile cause. They continue to need your support through these difficult Times and it’s a wonderful trip for the whole family . I highly recommend it !!

We were lucky enough to visit the reserve on probably the best day of the year so far. The snowdrops were beautiful and made a lovely subject to photograph. No dogs are allowed, which made a nice change. Not sure where one reviewer went, but we found no cow pats in the reserve. The information boards, placed at appropriate intervals, provide very interesting facts relating to the history of the family who once lived on the site and the buildings they occupied. We finished our morning with lunch in the Thatchers Arms, close to the entrance of the reserve itself. Will certainly be returning to see the daffodils and bluebells in due course.

This is a fascinating place to spend a couple of hours. The owners have managed ir very well - the place has been left much as it was, and you can wander around with little interference. There is no desk at the entrance, you just go in and pay on exit via an honesty box in the canteen. Each room displays equipment as it was in the 1980s, and the audio guide and videos are informative (although investing in a few TV screens rather than the faint projectors would be worthwhile). It wasn't busy, and that added to the atmosphere of the place. There are some nice touches, like the fridge of canned drinks part way through (again, with an honesty box). This is a period of history which is under-represented in other museums, and it was both educational and interesting. I disagree with some of the other comments which want to change this into a glossy museum - this is truly authentic and low key and should stay like that!
