Top Outdoor Venues in Essex
Essex’s outdoor venues span everything from woodland hideaways and private orchards to stately grounds with manicured gardens. Some locations provide festival-style setups with space for tipis and live entertainment, while others feature historic estates with elegant terraces. There are spots with treetop obstacle courses and sprawling open fields for large-scale events. If you're hosting an event near Colchester, take a detour to Britain’s oldest recorded town and explore the historic Castle Park before heading to your venue. Planning a celebration in Brentwood? The nearby Secret Nuclear Bunker in Kelvedon Hatch is an unusual pre-event activity that will get people talking. If you choose a countryside estate, consider wrapping up the night with stargazing—Essex has some of the darkest skies in the South East. Browse and book now!
