Tourism & Hospitality

The city is home to several key attractions, including the Museum of Chelmsford and Essex Records Office, highlighting the area’s historical significance, as well as Hylands House, set within expansive parkland that hosts the only Go Ape in Essex.

Green City

Additionally, the city’s proximity to the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, a historic canal, offers outdoor activities such as walking, cycling and paddleboarding, appealing to nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike. 
Chelmsford’s vibrant town centre, with its mix of national favourites and independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, also draws visitors for a blend of shopping, dining, and cultural experiences. 
With continued investment in infrastructure, including the development of the Bond Street area, which features new dining, retail, and leisure spaces, and the pedestrianisation of Tindal Square, Chelmsford is well-positioned to see sustained growth in its tourism sector.

The place to meet

Chelmsford is further supported by its strong hospitality offerings, which cater to a range of visitors, from those attending business conferences to tourists seeking leisure activities.
Outside of the city centre, a range of activity-based entertainment awaits, from horse racing to high ropes, or for something more tranquil, the splendour of RHS Hyde Hall, local vineyards and mini zoo’s show off the versatility of the wider Chelmsford leisure offer.
