Braintree District Council's Community Development Team have put together an online directory of halls, venues and facilities in the Braintree District to promote the fantastic range of facilities our district has to offer for voluntary groups and community groups to help them deliver services and activities for residents across the district.

This directory includes halls owned by parish councils, charities and other public sector organisations, Parks and Public gardens available for events and other venues owned by private businesses which offer concessionary rates to community groups. 

There is also details of any equipment available for use by local community groups either for free or hire at a concessionary rate.  This could include anything from tables, chairs and gazebos to projectors. 

All details were correct at the time of publication, but may be subject to change at any time.  BDC can accept no responsibility for changes in hire costs throughout the year or the condition of venues or equipment owned by outside organisations.  We recommend that all prospective hires undertake a site visit to the relevant venues or inspect equipment to ensure it is fit for your purpose and obtain quotes for hire in writing before making a booking.
