The Only Way is Essex burst onto our screens in 2010 and has quickly become an institution in the world of scripted-reality TV, with thousands of fans and launching its cast into the celebrity spotlight. Whether it is for a hen weekend, a birthday, or just a good old fashioned girls night out, why not head into Essex for a good time TOWIE style! We have put together a few of the best places to head to if you are looking to live it up like Chloe, Amy or Sam.
