Find Town Hall

Colchester Events supports the Council's declaration of a climate emergency and net zero emissions target by 2030, and the need for us all to reduce the environmental impact of our lifestyles. One way we can do this is by travelling by walking, cycling or using public transport, rather than cars where possible. Please see the information about travelling to our event locations by walking, cycling and using public transport. Information is also listed about parking where this is necessary.

The Town Hall is located on High Street in the town centre, with great local bus links and within walking distance of Colchester North and Colchester Town Station.

By Bike

There are plenty of bike stands in the town centre, with some a short walk away on High Street. You can download the Colchester Cycle Map from the Cycle Colchester website, or use one of our suggested routes on this map

By Bus

Colchester Town Hall is very well served by buses, with multiple bus stops on the High Street and the Bus Station on Osbourne Street only a 7-minute walk away.

You can use Travel Essex to plan your route by bus online or by downloading the app.
