I did not fall asleep, so it must have been good !

we have been here on many occasions and the seating is great and the shows are good as well. the bar has a nice view and a wide verity of different beers and other spirits. great to go with kids.

From the Pantos to the shows from the bar/lounge to the pre-school drama activities. Colchester's hidden gem

Regular attender. Comfortable seats with plenty of leg room - no need to stand up to let people pass. Varied programmes most seasons with a wide range of performers - local company, touring companies, well known celebrities, etc. Plays, music, variety, cabaret, one man shows, etc. Friendly atmosphere. Will exchange tickets or give a credit against future performances. Reduced price... More

The quality of performances are excellent with dedicated staff on hand. An excellent choice of varying performances.

I live in Colchester, and now go to the Mercury several times a year. There is a full programme, with a variety of productions, by the resident company, visiting companies, local opera group, etc. I saw Alan Ayckbourn's Absent Friends in March, am going to see Paul Jones and the Manfreds this week, and Arnold Wesker's Roots later this month....
