About Keep Colchester Cool

I first thought of Keep Colchester Cool during a lunchtime drink with a friend in September 2009. We talked about how great Colchester is if you know the right places, but it was often hard to find out what was happening each week.

That same day, I started the Keep Colchester Cool Facebook group. Now, it has over 5,000 members who get updates about everything unique in Colchester. The group’s success led me to create this website, so people can easily find out what’s happening and what’s worth checking out in the city.

Here’s what Keep Colchester Cool is all about:

It promotes Colchester’s music and arts scene.
It highlights venues hosting live music, special nights, and DJs, and supports all parts of the arts.
It also supports organisations, charities, restaurants, bars, pubs, and shops that bring something unique to the city.

This website isn’t a full guide to every event in Colchester, but it proudly features the city’s best events and venues.

If you would like to contribute, please get in touch. I always welcome guest writers with great content.

Thank you for your support.
