Candlelit Yin - Cosy Winter Warmer
2025-11-30 16:00 - 18:00 | The Tree Room, Trinity Street, Colchester, The Tree Room, Trinity Street, Colchester
Step into warmth and exhale. This cosy yin session is your invitation to relax and soften, a gentle somatic practice designed for deep rest, you time, and a feeling of being held when the weather turns cold. Across two unrushed hours you’ll drop out of the busyness of life and into your body, resting in supported shapes while your breath, your heartbeat and the tender hush of the room do the work.
Expect a darkened space lit by candlelight, soft music that soothes rather than distracts, and plenty of props to support every part of you. Settle with an eye pillow if you’d like, cocooned in blankets, allowing muscles to release, fascia to hydrate and the nervous system to melt towards calm. Postures are floor-based, low effort and held with care, inviting you to feel, to notice, and to soften without strain.
This is a special time you deliberately mark for yourself, a pause that brings you back to centre, away from screens, noise and obligation, so you can reconnect with your inner steadiness. Think of it as a winter sanctuary: cosy, quiet, and deeply replenishing.
Who it’s for: all levels and all bodies, especially anyone craving warmth, slow rhythms, somatic awareness and deep rest.
Sunday 30th November 16.00 – 18.00£20.00 per person 🕯️
https://dharmabelle.co.uk/event/candlelit-yin-cosy-winter-warmer/
Practical notes: the session lasts two hours, everything is guided and unhurried, and all props are provided. Just wear comfortable layers, bring water, and arrive a few minutes early to settle. When you’re ready to gift yourself this space, book your mat and come in from the cold.

Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It
2025-11-30 19:00 - 22:00 | Church St, CO1 1NF Colchester, United Kingdom
Tickets £21.50.Doors open 7pm, show starts 7.30pm.This show is for a seated audience.
Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Can’t Take It Hal is back with a brand-new tour for 2025 with a show that promises to stick it to ‘The Man’, as long as ‘The Man’ doesn’t stick it back to him.
With his trademark hard-hitting ‘take no prisoners’ comedy (this is what Hal told me to write!!!) he will be hilariously pontificating on subjects like middle aged dating, social media, the insanity of modern politics and the fact that his daughters love him but don’t respect him. He believes that, after you’ve seen the show, you’ll feel exactly the same way.
His last tour was extended four times and he’s one of a select number of comics to have done Live At The Apollo three times and the Royal Variety twice, TV also includes Have I Got News For You, The Apprentice You’re Fired, Bake Off Extra Slice and Would I Lie To You.

Chris Ingham's Steely Jazz. SOLD OUT. Returns only.
2025-11-30 19:30 - 21:30 | Wivenhoe Congregational Church, 101 High Street, Colchester, CO7 9AB, GB
The songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, aka Steely Dan, stood alone in 1970s rock; cryptic, pungent lyrics and sophisticated, detailed music deeply influenced by, in Becker and Fagen’s own words, “the best jazz players of the ’50s and ’60s”.
Chris Ingham’s Steely Jazz re-examines the comprehensive Dan canon, illuminating the singular melodies, rich harmonies and exploring the small jazz group possibilities of an incomparably opulent songbook.
Featuring well-known compositions like Rikki Don’t Lose That Number and Josie, alongside classic tracks and deep cuts from the masterpiece albums such as Aja, Gaucho, Countdown to Ecstacy, and Katy Lied, Steely Jazz is a fresh and exciting celebration of two giants of 20th Century popular music.
​In Harry Greene, Paul Higgs, Geoff Gascoyne, and George Double, Chris has assembled a stellar group of musicians to perform Becker and Fagen’s songs.
A must for all Dan fans!
Chris Ingham (Piano/Guitar/Vocals), Paul Higgs (Trumpet/Piano), Harry Greene (Tenor Sax/Guitar), Geoff Gascoyne (Double Bass), George Double (Drums/Vocals)

Wonderful Wednesdays - Masumi Saito and An-Ting: Departure
2025-12-03 19:30 - 22:30 | Church St, CO1 1NF Colchester, United Kingdom
3 Dec 2025Venues:Colchester Arts CentreCategories:PERFORMANCEPay what you can affordDoors open 7:30 pm, Show starts 8 pmThis show is for a seated audience
Departure is a music and dance performance by movement artist Masumi Saito and composer/musician An-Ting that explores themes of death, ritual, and the spirit.
Through the intertwining of movement and live music, the performance creates an emotionally resonant experience – breaking the silence around death. Why do cultures across the world uphold long-standing funeral traditions? What can these rituals teach us about both death and life?
In Departure, Masumi Saito and An-Ting reimagine a funeral ceremony inspired by their East Asian heritages as a performance and invite the audience to join in a contemplative space.
The performance is followed by a post-show discussion on death and ritual. Inspired by the ethos of Death Cafe, this conversation offers space for audiences and artists to share experiences, stories, and perspectives, exploring how traditions and collective rituals can shape the way we grieve.

🧘‍♀️ Yin Yoga Class – A Journey Inwards
Join us for a deeply nourishing yin yoga session, a practice rooted in stillness, gentle enquiry, and self-awareness.
Yin invites you to slow down and soften, offering a chance to truly rest and restore. While the pace is slow and poses are held for longer, the practice can be surprisingly challenging, not physically, but in the depth of presence and self-exploration it invites.
Rather than focusing on the “achievement” of the pose, this class encourages you to tune in, listen, and simply be with what is. We’ll use props to support the body, allowing space for relaxation, release, and reconnection.
✨ Suitable for all bodies✨ Open to all levels – including beginners✨ A beautiful way to wind down and nourish your nervous system

They tell us they have added to their repertoire of folk and Americana to include some ‘songs of the sea’ – but “Not exactly shanties …” – intriguing! Columbines are brilliant and entertaining and not to be missed!Do make sure you get in and get a seat as soon as possible after we open – last time they were our guests, the room was so packed we feared people would have to sit on each other’s laps.

ELVANA – THE WORLD’S FINEST ELVIS FRONTED TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA!
From the bowels of Disgraceland, Rock & Roll icons of the afterlife are raised from the dead! Rock & Roll meets Grunge as Elvis fronts Nirvana and gives the band the front man it’s been missing since ’94. Elvana tear through Nirvana’s catalogue whilst splicing in grunged up sections of the king of rock & rolls finest moments, culminating in a whopper mash up of overdrive & old school Rockabilly. It smells like cheeseburgers and teen spirit, daddy-o!
