Ahead of the winter months drawing in and temperatures becoming colder, indoor activities might be more on people’s minds.

A trip to the theatre is certainly something that could fulfil that role, with a whole variety of plays, stand-up comedy and musical performances to potentially see.

In Colchester the Mercury Theatre and the Headgate Theatre are two such places to go to for these performances.

Here’s what you can go to see at these theatres in October 2021.
