Essex’s county town has been an important local centre since before Roman times. The town has a diverse arts’ scene: the Cathedral Festival takes place each May and includes a variety of music, talks and fringe events; Hyland House plays host to summer music recitals and performances Shakespeare’s works; and each August festival goers come to town for the increasingly popular V Concerts. You’ll also find a pleasing selection of shops and hostelries, and at the Museum of Science and Industry, you’ll discover why Chelmsford is known as the 'birthplace of broadcasting'.
