The odeon has moved from its old location to this newer improved lay out at the head street building in the middle of the town centre. It is busy and a first choice for the teens of the town to meet up with their mates and watch a film.
There are lots of screens here and so they can show more than one film at a time. The ice cream bar has some lovely ice creams to choose form and the popcorn is a must have when you go to see a film, the cinema would not be the same with out the rustle of popcorn and sweet bags.The odeon has moved from its old location to this newer improved lay out at the head street building in the middle of the town centre.

The mercury theatre is slightly hidden away at balkerne gate. It can be accessed from the top of head strreet on foot or by car. There is no parking at this venue though, so plan ahead and arrive in plenty of time to park your car at one of the near by car parks. The selection of shows is always very varied and those that we have seen have been entertaining. The theatre is not all that big but you do get a decent view of the stage because of this. Prices are fair and we hope to visit the mercury to see an up and coming production next month. It is a cosy little theatre and the kids performances are usually good fun.The mercury theatre is slightly hidden away at balkerne gate.

The colchester arts centre is a must visit place for the young and not so young of colchester. They have lots of entertainment on offer to suit many different tastes. There is a bar serving alcohol but the staff always check ages and the younger visitors get their hands stamped to show thy can not buy anything but soft drinks at the bar. I saw capdown there a few years back and they were great. Local bands and up and coming artists appear at this venue regularly. If you want to know whats on ,'you can sign up for the news letter and get it sent to your door. Its not just a music venue, check it out, there is always lots on.The colchester arts centre is a must visit place for the young and not so young of colchester.
