“The most beautiful place to hold your loved one's Wake... or to just call in for light refreshments”
Starlight Tea Chapel is a beautiful Grade II listed building, originally constructed in 1855-1856. The Non-Conformist Chapel once stood proudly within Colchester Crematorium and Cemetery, surrounded by nature at its finest.
The chapel was decommissioned from its original chapel status approximately 45 years ago. For many years, it remained empty before being used by the cemetery gardeners to store roses. It was later leased and transformed into the charming Tea Room today.
Our location has made us a popular choice for wakes and Celebration of Life gatherings. We offer four tailored wake packages, starting at £8.75 per person.
We are fortunate to have the support of many local funeral directors, who are pleased to recommend our venue.
At the Tea Room, we serve a variety of hot and cold drinks, sandwiches, light snacks, and a selection of cakes.
"We believe Starlight is a lovely place to 'Celebrate the Life' of your loved one passed. A beautiful building with a character of its own............. We would love to meet you"
