We want to make the town wel­com­ing and beau­ti­ful for all to enjoy.

Have you ever tak­en the time to just stop and look around to see what is sur­round­ing you; it would prob­a­bly be a sur­prise. Being a Colch­ester res­i­dent I thought I knew every­thing it has to offer; how­ev­er I am start­ing to realise just how much more there is to this his­toric bustling town.

Small Busi­ness Sat­ur­day is a day to sup­port our local inde­pen­dent busi­ness­es. Colch­ester town cen­tre has so many unique and won­der­ful inde­pen­dents so let’s show our sup­port this Sat­ur­day! #WhereY­ouShop­Mat­ters

Although our Mother’s deserve to be treat­ed all year round, Mother’s Day (Sun­day 22^nd March, in case you for­got) is a day to spread a lit­tle extra love.

The year seems to have flown by so far and now on the hori­zon is Moth­ers Day! Here is our 2023 guide to the per­fect gift for mum, from after­noon teas to the not so tra­di­tion­al gifts we’ve got you covered.

Phase three of reopen­ing could be on the hori­zon and with April already prov­ing a suc­cess, we are lov­ing wel­com­ing you back to the town cen­tre safe­ly! Check out our guide for the our go to places to catch up in Colchester.

The Colch­ester Gnome Trail is now live! Explore Colch­ester City Cen­tre to find all 30 gnomes dot­ted around in dif­fer­ent busi­ness­es. Take pho­tos of your favourite and share them with us! 🎨
