Southend's Adventure Island will be reopening on Saturday after being closed over the winter.

One of the country's biggest free to enter theme parks which features a range of roller coasters and other attraction closed in November for the winter.

However, it will re-open on Saturday for the weekend and remain open over the half term holiday.

It will then be open every weekend and half term week through spring before opening every day over the summer.

When the attraction is not open, visitors can still enjoy the Adventure Inside attraction, which has a number of indoor rides suitable for whatever the weather.
