Regent Theatre, Chelmsford, Visitor Guide & Things to Do Nearby

The Regent Theatre stands on Moulsham Street in Chelmsford, Essex, just south of the city centre. It is a local landmark on one of the town's main routes, and a useful stop when you want to see more of Chelmsford than the High Street.

Tips for your visit

• Allow about 10 to 15 minutes if you are looking at the building from the street, longer if you combine it with a stroll along Moulsham Street.
• Check current opening hours and whether there is public access before you plan to go inside.
• Daylight is best for looking at the frontage and picking out its details, and the street is quieter outside the busiest shopping times.
• It is an easy walk from the city centre, so you can fit it in alongside the rest of central Chelmsford.

See it on a quest

The best way to take in the Regent Theatre is as one stop on Marconi's Chelmsford, a self-guided walk through the city built around the story of Marconi. You reach the place on foot as part of a longer route, the app tells you about each stop as you arrive, and you solve a puzzle based on what is in front of you. There is no guide to follow and no group to join, and you can start whenever you like. It is a paid quest, and one ticket covers the whole group.
