Celebrating the town we love
We are planning A Festival of Colchester. A new arts, culture and heritage festival that will run from Friday 23 August to Sunday 15 September 2019.
The festival will aim to involve, embrace and welcome all of our diverse local community, with a wide variety of events and activities united by themes of nursery rhymes, folklore, myths, legends and storytelling.
Destination Colchester is a Community Interest Company (number 06841033) established for the benefit of the residents, visitors and workers of Colchester, and can only use funds for that purpose, or transfer them to another organisation with similar objectives.
All AFOC2019 donations received will be used to deliver and promote a programme of cultural and heritage events in the Colchester area between 23 August 2019 and 15 September 2019. Any surplus will be used to deliver a similar programme of events in 2020, or transferred to a new charitable or community interest organisation established solely for that purpose.
