This September, Colchester and Stoke by Nayland will come alive with spoken word, visual art, history, talks, debates, world music, poetry, jazz, walks, and new commissions and compositions by local school pupils and composers, alongside Roman River’s trademark world-class classical concerts. Our festival is informal, open to everybody, with no rules. We convert disused urban buildings into performance venues because there is no concert hall in Colchester.
Come and join in!
