ALB Festival

Get ready for a feel-good day out at the ALB Festival in Lower Castle Park, Colchester, bringing the community together with live music and a brilliant festival atmosphere. With entry from £0, it’s an easy win for families, friends and anyone looking for great entertainment in the heart of Essex.

Expect a family-friendly programme of live music across the day, with a relaxed park setting that’s perfect for picnics, dancing and soaking up the end-of-summer buzz. The festival is run by local community organisation The ALB, and every ticket sold helps fund local charities and community projects—so you’ll be enjoying yourself while supporting Colchester at the same time. Come along for an uplifting mix of performances, a welcoming crowd and a community-first vibe you can really feel.

Lower Castle Park is a central Colchester green space, close to the town centre and easy to reach by public transport or on foot. It’s a great base for a full day out exploring Colchester before or after the festival.
