Chelmsford has recently been independently judged best shopping centre in Essex.
A pedestrianised High Street and Town Centre link High Chelmer and The Meadows, the two main undercover shopping areas. Add to this the retail market, the Antiques and Secondhand Goods Market, international restaurants, cafes, wine bars and pubs (some with live music), plus a new eight screen cinema, the Cramphorn Theatre and the Civic Theatre, the Chancellor Hall and a number of exciting nightclubs, and all in all the Chelmsford entertainment picture is excellent.
