Latest Events in Colchester (Continuously Updated)

Experience the enchantment of alchemy with the renowned author, playwright, and journalist Neil D’Arcy-Jones at the This Land: Writing the Place Workshop. Delve into the transformative power of storytelling by immersing yourself in the essence of 25 distinct Essex locations that inspired the creation of Essex Book Festival’s 25th Edition oak gall ink. Embrace the opportunity to craft new narratives from these places and concepts, perhaps even contributing to the festival's anthology, This Land. The workshop will take place on Saturday, June 1, 2024, from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm at the prestigious Art Exchange, located at University of Essex Colchester Campus, in the heart of Colchester. Tickets are available for purchase at £10 for concessions (Students, Under 27s, and Unwaged) and £15 for general admission. This workshop is part of the This Land: Launch Day events, a series of talks, performances, debates, walks, and workshops celebrating the 25th Edition of Essex Book Festival and the 60th Anniversary of University of Essex.

Join the upcoming event "Brake health check: stopping safely" in Colchester at the Colchester Bike Kitchen. On June 8, 2024, learn about the key types of brakes found on bikes, such as rim, disc, and hub brakes, and how to properly maintain and adjust them.

The event is at an intermediate level and free to attend, but booking is required. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into inspecting and adjusting brake calipers and pads. This event is made possible by Cycling UK's Big Bike Revival, and we extend our thanks to them for their support. Secure your ticket starting from April 26, 2024, at 11:55.
