TICKETS: https://colchesterartscentre.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173664190
With exceptional musicianship and boundless energy, Granny’s Attic are going from strength to strength. Cohen Braithwaite-Kilcoyne (melodeon, anglo concertina, vocals), George Sansome (guitar, vocals) and Lewis Wood (violin, vocals) have honed their skills touring the UK and Europe since 2009. They are much loved by audiences up and down the country, with bookings everywhere from Cambridge Folk Festival to Cecil Sharp House.
The trio have been heralded for their lively performances and skilled delivery of traditional material, playing with verve, energy and their own inimitable style. Though grounded in tradition, they are keen to push new boundaries by exploring fresh approaches and writing their own compositions. In October 2021, they released The Brickfields, an instrumental collection that saw them reach new heights as both composers and performers. This was followed up in 2025 by Cold Blows the Wind, an album of largely traditional material which went down a storm with reviewers and audiences alike.
Described by KLOF Magazine as “one of the most exciting and accomplished English folk acts on the scene right now”, this outstanding trio can hold audiences in the palm of their hand.

Sherlock Holmes & The Hunt for Moriarty
2026-04-21 19:30 - 2026-04-25 19:30 | Mercury Theatre Colchester, Mercury Theatre Colchester
Blackeyed Theatre in association with Theatre Royal Winchester and South Hill Park presents Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for MoriartyAdapted by Nick Lane from the work of Sir Arthur Conan DoyleComposer – Tristan Parkes
“When you have one of the first brains of Europe up against you, and all the powers of darkness at his back, there are infinite possibilities.”
London, 1901. As the British Empire wages war in the name of a Queen whose health is failing, a series of mysterious events reveals a crack in the high corridors of power. A crack that threatens to destabilise monarchy, government and Empire. And at its centre, controlling the flow of information and influence, a shadowy figure plans a final deadly move.
Drawn into the game and unsure who to trust, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves confronting figures from their past in a desperate race against time, aware that the most powerful person in the world could be in the pocket of one of the most corrupt. But just how much is Holmes willing to sacrifice as he faces ‘checkmate’?
A thrilling adventure based on the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Hunt for Moriarty is a world premiere that combines powerful performances, a haunting soundscape and innovative design for an exhilarating theatrical experience.
“One of the most innovative, audacious companies working in contemporary English theatre” – The Stage

Taking a varied approach may not win you prizes, but will result in more diverse and interesting images which will give you greater satisfaction.
The subjects and techniques will be drawn from the following topics:Learning to See, A Snail’s Eye View, Bokeh, Lens-Less, Blurs, Using a Fisheye, Shooting from the Knee, Camera Movement, Subject Movement, Multiple Exposure, Mirroring, Post Production techniques and using your phone as a creative tool.

TWM Live presents Phoenix Lake, performing live at Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester for a night of heavy rock.
Originally formed as Descending Angels in 2018, guitarists Ash Wilson and Zak Smith recruited Lana Phillis as vocalist and later became Phoenix Lake, completing the line-up with drummer Joe Synnott. The band are described as a female-fronted melodic metal outfit, with comparisons to Within Temptation, Parkway Drive, and Evanescence.
Their debut EP, Beyond The Flames, was written before the COVID-19 pandemic and later re-recorded and released following several iterations.
