The Wat Tyler Centre is now open to the public, offering a fantastic new facility for learning, celebration and relaxation at the heart of Wat Tyler Country Park.
The building is home to an exciting interactive exhibition that lets you explore the explosives factory heritage of the park and its future as a space for nature at the heart of developments in the Thames Gateway region. State of the art classrooms are available for school visits in the Diamond Suite which offers a great all-weather base for education visits exploring the park.

The new Café at Wat Tyler on the first floor offers great food with great views over the nature reserve at Pitseahall Fleet, especially from the deck of the balcony.
The Nobel Room is a fantastic venue for weddings, conferences, exhibitions and concerts with capacity for 250 theatre-style and 140 reception-style. At just 15 minutes from the M25, trains direct to Pitsea from central London and plenty of local affordable, quality hotel rooms, the Nobel Room offers a great new venue whatever the event.
