There is a small parish hall, used for children's kindergarten and small exhibitions. The hall was almost doubled in size after the extension of the new basketball hall. The hall and gardens also host a monthly artisan event called Marks Tey Market on the fourth Saturday of the month (from March to October).
The village has a parish church, St Andrew's. The church hall is central to the community, hosting 1st Marks Tey Scout Group with Beavers, Cub Scout and Scouting.

In 2001, The Food Company erected their first outlet on the site of the former Prince of Wales, selling speciality foods and drink; however, the business closed in 2017. The premises were refurbished in 2021 and is now a solicitors' firm.
