The Main Gallery
The Main Gallery
Give your guests the museum to themselves. Our interactive Main Gallery offers museum venue hire in Essex with a real sense of occasion. It tells the story of more than 300 years of gunpowder making and rocket research at the Mills. Guests can mingle among the exhibits with a drink in hand, making it perfect for drinks and canapé receptions, after-hours events, networking evenings and educational visits. It’s set within the 170-acre Gunpowder Mills site in Waltham Abbey, just minutes from the M25, with plenty of parking on site.
