Planning on visiting Colchester? The UK comes out of National lockdown on Wednesday 2nd December, and Colchester will be placed in tier 2 of national restrictions - the same level as prior to lockdown.
This means that many attractions, restaurants and businesses, including the Visitor Information Centre will re-open and gatherings outside of up to 6 people are permitted again. There are however numerous restrictions in place and some businesses, including pubs, may be offering a significantly different service or remain closed for the time being.
For the full list of restrictions please refer to the official government advice.
For localised advise on COVID-19 including any new restrictions please visit the borough council website
Visiting Colchester
The majority of the content on this website was written in a pre COVID-19 world and reflects a time without restrictions and precautions in place to stop the spread of Coronavirus. As everyone works hard to get back to a similar position we will endeavour to update the site as necessary, but for now we would always recommend double checking with attractions and venues before visiting for any additional measures in place that may affect your visit, or you can get in touch with us directly to query any information on the site.
Guided Tours
Guided walking tours have been temporarily suspended, with regular tours now unlikey to return in 2020, however it is possible to arrange a socially distaced private tour for small groups. Find our more on our Tours & Sightseeing page
We will update this page as more information becomes available
