Reopening of halls and services

Epping Hall in St Johns Road and the Jack Silley Pavilion at Stonards Hill recreation ground are now reopening for bookings.

Both buildings have been closed for hirers during lockdowns. Epping Hall is Epping Town Council’s main office and staff have continued to work safely behind the scenes to maintain the services and functions we provide for the town (a list of these can be found on page 12).

We have lots of classes at both buildings, including children’s dance, tai chi, yoga, karate, baby groups, meetings and functions such as dinners and wedding receptions. The halls are very popular and do get booked up, so if you would like to hire one of our community spaces, please get in touch. We are delighted to be able to start welcoming our hirers back, in line with government health guidance and we look forward to seeing our community enjoying their events again. www.eppingtowncouncil.gov.ukinfo@eppingtowncouncil.gov.ukTel:

The newly refurbished tennis courts at Stonards Hill recreation ground have been extremely well used since restrictions allowed them to reopen on 29th March 2021. There are two courts with floodlights for evening use. The courts are available for free public play (small charge for floodlights in the evenings) or private paid coaching lessons and these can be booked online through ClubSpark. You will need to register for a free account and then they will be available to book. https://clubspark.lta.org.uk/

Epping’s Monday Market

Epping’s Monday market reopened for all our traders on Monday 12th April 2021 in line with government guidance on non-essential retail. Epping’s historic market charter dates back to 1253 and gives Epping the right to hold its Monday market by Royal assent.

During the national lockdowns, as government restrictions have allowed, Epping’s Monday market was open to ‘essentials’ traders; those selling food, household goods, pet food and plants. We have made changes to the layout of the Monday market to aid social distancing and traders.

Epping Town Council would like to thank our loyal traders for their dedication and hard work during this past difficult year. We are delighted to have our market back in town as it is so important to our community.

Thank you to customers for continuing to shop safely and maintaining social distancing in our market and High Street.
