Mersea Island Packing Shed

Visiting the Shed

Packing Shed Open Days - 2012 Monday 4th June 10.30 to 15.30 (last boat out at 15:00) Sunday 24th June 13:00 - 17:00 (last boat out at 16:30) Sunday 22nd July 12:00 – 17:00 (last boat out at 16:30) Sunday 5th August 12:00 – 17:00 (last boat out at 16:30) Sunday 19th August 12:00 – 17:00 (last boat out at 16:30) Please check this website on the day - sometimes adverse weather makes it difficult to land on the island and we may have to cancel the Open Day.
On Open Days there is no need to book – just turn up on the 'hammerhead' at the end of the jetty on the day. Boats depart and return at regular intervals. For a small fee (£3.00 Adults, £2 children) you can enjoy a wonderful afternoon out; the price also includes a Cream Tea at the shed. You can also hire the Packing Shed for special events - contact our Bookings Secretary, Bry Mogridge, on 01206 385123, for further details. Also see Hiring the Shed for availability.
