Built on the site of Chelmsford’s original market, Shire Hall is the town’s most famous landmark. This grand Georgian building is situated in the centre of town, its Portland stone facade overseeing Chelmsford’s busy high street.

Chelmsford Cathedral and its grounds are located next door and the bus and rail stations are only five minutes walk away. Shire Hall is a highly flexible venue and arguably one of the best wedding venues in Chelmsford it can also be used for balls, conferences, corporate events and meetings.

Shire Hall not only holds a prime central position in Chelmsford but is also a building of national significance for its historical architecture.

This substantial building contains a number of elegant spacious areas that can be hired together or separately.

The kitchens are available for your own caterer’s needs, as is the bar, allowing freedom and flexibility for your event and budget (full use of kitchen, cutlery, crockery and table set-up are all included in the price).
