The original sci-fi and fantasy city-wide event returns for the 13th time…

Come to Colchester City Centre between 10am and 4pm on

Saturday 6 September 2025!

There will be characters from Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Doctor Who, Disney Princesses, and other famous franchises, as well as your favourite Comic Book and Movie Superheroes, plus Show Cars from TV and film!

You can see amazing live performances from some

supremely talented local acts.

There will also be a number of fun competitions you can take part in with a great selection of prizes to be won!

All of this is organised to encourage our fabulous supporters

to give some money to our charities – St Helena Hospice, Colchester & Ipswich Hospitals Charity, and Mind (Mid & North East Essex), who provide essential services to the community.

Join in the fun and help us raise funds for charity at Invasion Colchester!
