We have offered the Essex Shire Hall Trust a long term lease for Shire Hall.
Shire Hall is a Grade II* listed building. It fronts Tindal Square in the heart of Chelmsford City Centre.
The building was last used as a Magistrates’ Court and venue for council events.
The HM Courts and Tribunals Service left the building in 2011. Since then, the building has remained largely unused.
If the trust is successful in obtaining planning permission and funding, Shire Hall will open its doors to the public once more.
Watch more about this exciting development in Shire Hall's future.
Details of next steps will shared soon.
