SUMMARY:Simon Carter: From the Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Essex artist Simon Carter transforms Firstsite’s gallery with From the Landscape\, an immersive exhibition inspired by the Essex coast and countryside.\n\nCarter has spent more than 40 years walking\, drawing and painting the landscape around him. The exhibition brings together more than 30 acrylic paintings and drawings made since 2020\, an early watercolour painted when he was 23\, and three new series created especially for Firstsite.\n\nRather than simply hanging works on gallery walls\, From the Landscape uses painted surfaces\, installation and sound to create an environment visitors can move through. A 19-metre wall carries 500 monochrome painted sketches\, while recordings made by Carter during his daily walks bring sounds from the Essex coast into the gallery.\n\nCarter is based in Frinton and is President of Colchester Art Society. He has previously been Artist-in-Residence at both the University of Essex and Firstsite.\n\nFrom the Landscape runs from Saturday 19 September 2026 until Sunday 17 January 2027.\n\nAdmission is free and no booking is required.\n\nFirstsite is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 10am to 5pm\, Thursday to Saturday from 10am to 10pm\, and Sunday from 10am to 5pm. It is closed on Mondays.

SUMMARY:Murder Mystery: The Nile-High Club
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Egypt\, 55AD. The Emperor Nero has been invited to Egypt to attend Queen Cleopatra’s Annual Festival of Drunkenness. He’s also hoping to marry her. What he’s not counting on is devilish plot that’s been cooked up by Cleopatra’s High Priest\, and her apparently chaste Lady-in-Waiting… \nSo begins a spectacular sequence of backstabbings and double-crosses played out against a backdrop of passion\, poison\, and pyramids. Set within the dramatic surroundings of Colchester Castle\, the largest Norman keep in Europe\, this immersive event promises a night to remember. \nThe event will be held on 19 September\, with the doors opening at 7:30 PM\, and the mystery unfolds at 8.15 PM. Please note that late entry will not be permitted. \nGuests will be welcomed with a glass of fizz and light nibbles. A licensed bar will be open throughout the evening for additional purchases. Feel free to don Egyptian garb or simply bring your sharpest detective instincts – you’ll need them. \nThis is an 18+ standing event with limited seating. Please contact the Castle in advance if you have any access needs or dietary restrictions. \nFor more details\, including the evening’s schedule\, directions\, and accessibility information\, please see our Murder Mystery FAQs and Access at the Castle pages. \nTickets are £35 per person.
