Hot Box Chelmsford

28 Viaduct Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1TS


Chelmsford's grassroots music venue. Keeping independent music alive.

Chelmsford’s music, poetry and drag scene welcomed Hot Box Live to their streets in 2016, and since then it has become a go-to spot for music lovers of all ages to congregate safely to enjoy a wide range of music.

Since its opening, Hot Box Live has sought to introduce the city to artists not normally seen in the city. In the past Chelmsford was often skipped over during U.K. tours — when artists would frequently go from Southend to Colchester — so Hot Box Live has bridged the gap, making Chelmsford a place for touring artists to be welcomed into.

With features such as a bar containing over 700 different alcohols, great lights and a state-of-the-art sound system, quiz & chess nights, Hot Box is a venue with the same old school aesthetics and values of accessibility that everyone can enjoy.

We are a Community Interest Company, and as such any money we do make is spent putting on minority and loss making events in an attempt to support the whole community.
