The arts and music festival Village Green is held on the grounds of Chalkwell Park annually in the summer. The festival often receives more than 25,000 visitors each year.[2] HistoryIn 1830, Chalkwell Hall was built in the centre of the park. At the time, it didn't have a well-defined purpose.[3] The park was formed from the land surrounding the hall. In 1901 or 1903, the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council purchased the land for £20,000.[3][4] In the 1950s or earlier, a small petting zoo was established in Chalkwell Hall containing at various points in time peacocks, monkeys and eventually a bear. Today, only the peacock enclosure remains, containing 4 peacocks.[5] The hall also serves as a modern art house.[6] Cricket groundThe cricket ground was first used by the Essex County Cricket Club, 1st XI in 1934 for County Championship matches and in 1970 for List A matches. The ground has not been used by the club 1st XI since 1976.[7] The ground has hosted 69 first-class matches and 8 List A matches:[8] Game information
