Colchester’s calendar is looking lively over the next few weeks, from Castle Park favourites to smaller pop-up markets and live music nights tucked away on the High Street. If you’re planning a day out, try pairing an event with a wander around the Dutch Quarter or a quick stop at the Natural History Museum for something a bit different. What’s the one Colchester event you never miss, and are there any local organisers or venues we should be shouting about more?
I never miss anything on in Castle Park in the summer, it’s always a good vibe after a wander round the Dutch Quarter. Also think Three Wise Monkeys and the little pop-up markets on the High Street deserve more of a shout — what dates are the next live music nights?
I always try to catch the food and drink bits at Colchester Arts Festival, then pop into the Natural History Museum if the weather turns. Any smaller organisers doing the High Street pop-up markets you’d recommend?
