Have you been to the highly-rated Essex Police Museum at Chelmsford?

It is based at police headquarters in Sandford Road, Springfield, Chelmsford CM2 6DN and is open every Saturday from 10am-4pm. Admission is free and there is no need to book. This year it was? runner-up in the Essex Mums awards Best Museum category….

To quote a few? comments on tripadvisor:

nice and small, friendly staff and very good mix of things and considering the costs of some other museums, really good value.

I visited on a wet Saturday afternoon and I was surprised at the amount of People in the museum, it seemed quite popular. However I must say that the whole set up is very much geared up for children or maybe someone that hasn’t seen a Police Officer before. The best bit was the old case study’s that were free to take home and read at your leisure.

Found the museum on TA whilst searching for something to do on a rainy afternoon. So glad we visited.
It’s small but crammed with interesting exhibits. Me and my son’s favourites were the 70 crime scene, police phone box and the witness stand. He spent ages doing imaginative play and loved it here.
It’s free but I’d urge people to spend a couple of quid on souvenirs and put something in the donation box to keep this unique attraction running.
