Just sharing some of my favourite Autumnal snaps of West Stockwell Street and the huge cooker tree (Google informs me this is a Horse Chestnut tree!) 🌳

The Church on this street (St Martin’s Church) is Medieval and sustained a significant amount of damage during the Siege of Colchester in 1648💥 You can spot a pretty hefty blow to its tower from this time as it looks quite wonky!

Some of the building material used to create the church is recycled Roman brick ♻️ If you walk through the little next-door passage, Quakers Alley, see if you can spot some of the ammonite fossils in the brickwork 😯

Oh and Quakers Alley delivers on beauitful views of the Town Hall on a sunny day 😎

Not only did Dom Joly head to Colchester Museums Colchester Castle but he also enjoyed a beer at Colchester gem, Two Brews!

He clearly knows what’s good 👌

I lead a tour of Colchester for some ESOL at Colchester Institute language students this week!! It was a really enjoyable tour and the the sun was shining for us too!!

There’s so much to talk about in a tour of Colchester. Loads of history but also lots of things right here and now for us to enjoy! We enjoyed a visit to Colchester Arts Centre, Castle Park and its Sensory Garden, the Dutch Quarter and Balkerne Gate!

I’m glad to hear the students enjoyed their tour 🙂

The Colchester Mercury is one of the finest ancient bronze statues from Roman Britain, discovered by a farmer in Colchester.

Few complete bronzes have survived from Roman times, making this 1,800 year old artefact even more exceptional, read more 👇

Where else could you enjoy a glass (perspective makes this glass look like a bucket but I promise it’s a regular glass 😂) of wine in the last of the evening light by a Victorian water tower and a 2000year old Roman gateway?!

Mercury Theatre Colchester isn’t just for theatre and performing arts! It’s great for drinks and dins too!! Cheers 🍷

🚨BIG EXCITING WEEKEND ALERT🚨

This weekend the city is going to be buzzing with exciting goings on - a lot of which is free or budget friendly! If there’s one thing I know about Colchester, it’s that people here like to dress up. Whether it’s Roman togas, English Civil War re-enactment or Spider-Man 🦸 This Saturday the city will be taken over by (friendly) superheroes and villains for Invasion Colchester, a slightly bonkers but totally brilliant event which raises money for local charities (St Helena Hospice, Colchester Hospital Charity and North East Essex MIND) Its a great fun family day out and going once will have you hooked! It’s run for several years now which is a testament to its success!

You can also enjoy the fantastic array of Heritage Open Days events in this weekend! This heritage festival throws open the doors of historical landmarks and buildings to the public, some of which include guided tours! All of this is completely free to enjoy and with a city like ours, so steeped in history, this is an event not to be missed!! Please note, I won’t be running any of these tours this weekend but other passionate and experienced Colchester tour guides will be!

Of course you can compliment these days out with Suffolk Market Events Colchester Farmers Market, Folk and Bespoke market at Firstsite Colchester and the brilliant Emotional Madness poetry evening at Colchester Arts Centre!

What a fab week of special, uniquely Colchester events! Colchester is one of only 13 Gun Saluting Stations in the country as specially chosen by Queen Elizabeth II in 2008! So it’s a real treat that we can have this event for special Royal occasions (this one honours King Charles’ birthday!) Beforehand, you’ll have the added bonus of a bandstand concert from Colchester’s very own British Army Band! This band is one of 14 of its kind in the country with other duties including playing for the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace so this event feels extra special 🤩Other events this week include a butterfly identification workshop 🦋, Pipes in the Park 😀and a listening event for the iconic Libertines album, Up The Bracket played through the mighty Colchester Arts Centre sound system!#WhatsOnColchester #ColchesterEssex #ColchesterCulture #Colchester #VisitColchester #VisitEssex #RoyalGunSalute #16thairassaultbrigade #MilitaryCity #PipesInThePark #HighlandDancing #Bagpipes #UpTheBracket #TheLibertines

Woohoo, it’s set to be a sunny week here in #Colchester 😎

Got the 87 bus 🚌 from town to Essex Uni tonight to watch men’s basketball team Essex Rebels! A great match to support and watch but also there was a DJ spinning tunes 💃and loads of fun audience interaction (kiss cam!!!) to make the time-outs fun too! And a kind of MC who lead all the audience cheers too (DE-FENCE DE-FENCE!). So much fun, will definitely go again when the new season starts 🏀Also brilliant value for money at £12 for a family ticket (2adults 2children)!#EssexUni #Essex #ColchesterCulture #ColchesterLife #UniLife #essexrebels #essexrebelsbasketball #essexevents #WhatsOnColchester Essex Rebels Basketball

Anyone seen Colchester’s North Gate?

🕵️‍♀️ there it is! The North Gate of Colchester’s Roman wall doesn’t really exist any more but you can see the remnants of the 2000 year old wall that surrounded it tucked in between King Kebab and North Hill Barbers. Check it out next time you’re bracing yourself for the hike up North Hill! #Colchester #RomanColchester #LocalKnowledge #ColchesterCity #ColchesterNorthGate

Colchester Walking Tours is back in Colchester! Although we got up uncharacteristically early due to jet lag, it gave us the chance to make the most of Youngs fish stall on the High Street and go stock up on fruit and veg at the market stall by Poundland and back of Primark! Youngs are brilliant and cleaned and filleted the sea bass we bought. They also had great budget options with really good prices on herring and sprats! This stall is only in Colchester on a FRIDAY and WEDNESDAY!The fruit and veg stall is also brill with loads of options available for £1! We bought bananas, red peppers, limes, vine tomatoes and clementines (or mandarins, not sure) all for a fiver! It’s way cheaper than supermarkets for the amount you get! This stall is normally in Colch FRIDAY and SATURDAY! ...#colchester #colchestermarket #colchesterlocalbusiness #fridaymarket #jetlag #colchestercity #colchesterlife #citylife Colchester Market Young's Fish Ltd In Colchester Colchester City Council Visit Colchester
