The view

Position and angle

Essex identifies Felsted School as a covered seating choice. Compare its shelter with the neighbouring open blocks rather than treating the whole southern boundary as roofed. Use the official Chelmsford seating plan to place Felsted School Stand against the wicket and the neighbouring banks. Felsted School Stand: the highlighted plan here is a schematic, so the club’s ticket map remains the reference for choosing the individual seat.

Seating and rows

Felsted School occupies blocks 22–24 on the current map. Felsted School Stand: individual row ranges, restricted-view seats and row-by-row step-free routes are TBC in the published material. Ask the ticket office to check the offered Felsted School Stand seat if steps, a railing or an uninterrupted view would affect your visit.
