Queens Mead
Mill on the Mead
Queens Mead is a vast open meadow flanked by a tree-lined avenue and the historic Incorporating Mills, making it one of the most striking outdoor event spaces in Essex. With room for up to 7,000 guests, it’s the setting for open-air cinema and theatre, festivals, vehicle shows and launches, re-enactments, corporate summer parties and exhibitions. The whole site is secured by a perimeter fence with controlled access, so it’s ideal for large events and filming. It’s set within our 170-acre site in Waltham Abbey, just minutes from the M25, with plenty of parking on site.
