Discover what's happening in Colchester this Halloween and Fireworks season. Browse our listings below to discover great Halloween themed activities for children and grown ups alike, as well as details of Fireworks displays in Colchester.
Colchester's flagship fireworks event in Castle Park is due to go ahead in 2021, following last year's cancellation due to coronavirus. The hugely popular event, organised by local charity King Coel's Kittens, is a highlight in the local events calendar and not to be missed!
Other highlights of the season include fantastic childrens halloween activities at Colchester Zoo as part of their Shriek Week, or why not try a spooky Day Out with Thomas at the East Anglian Railway Museum?
If you like your scares a bit more grown up the Zoo also have the Trail of Terror running on selected evenings. Or if full on scares are too much for you, how about something a little more chilling with The Mercury Theatre's production of Sirens? This new play centres around a ghost story set on Mersea Island.
