About

Discover one of Southend's oldest and most mysterious buildings, after hours at Southchurch Hall.

Southchurch Hall is one of the oldest buildings in Southend. The site has had many lives: Saxon hall, medieval manor, Tudor farm, Victorian home and community library and now a Grade I listed visitor attraction. But, what is the secret to sustaining such long lasting history?

Join us from 6pm at Southchurch Hall on 20 November, as part of our 'museum lates' event series to explore the history of our fascinating medieval moated manor and discover what it takes to care for a site with over 1000 years of history.

This month's talk is by Collections and Conservation Manager Claire Reed. Enjoy a complimentary drink, explore the history of the hall and uncover the often unseen world of conservation to learn how the right care can keep heritage buildings like Southchurch Hall standing for the community to enjoy for centuries to come.

Doors open at 6pm, with half an hour for exploring the building. The talk begins at 6:30pm, and the event finishes by 8pm.

Prebooking is essential. This event is 18+ only.
