Theatres

Our many theatres throughout the county put on fabulous shows from music events, to plays and ballets, all offering great rates.

The Mercury Theatre in Colchester is at the heart of the city's arts scene - an active theatre venue involved in putting on plays of national and international importance, as well as in the creation of its own theatre pieces by local artists (Made in Colchester). An evening out at The Mercury Theatre is a perfect way to end a day of sightseeing or shopping in Colchester city centre.

While if you prefer more family friendly productions for all ages, why not visit Southend's premier entertainment complex, The Cliffs Pavilion and Palace Theatre? This is a great place to experience live performances as it’s the region's leading theatre and concert hall with programmes including touring West End musicals, ballet, concerts and comedy.

With a thriving theatre scene there’s something for every passionate theatre goer in Essex.
