The Spinks Gallery

The Spinks Gallery

Big, bright and completely flexible, the Spinks Gallery is our largest indoor event space and one of the most versatile options for hall hire in Essex.

 It sits within a site that made gunpowder for the Crown for more than 200 years and later led the way in rocket propellant research, until the work ended in 1991. Today the Spinks Gallery is a blank canvas you can set up however you like, with switchable feature lighting and plenty of power. It’s perfect for conferences, drinks receptions, dinners, exhibitions and filming. Set within the 170-acre Gunpowder Mills site in Waltham Abbey, it’s step-free throughout and just minutes from the M25, with plenty of parking on site.
