Mercury Theatre

The Mercury Theatre makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. We take you on amazing adventures and promise a great night out. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. Your spirits will be lifted through the power of live, communal entertainment and brilliant shared experiences. We’re more than a theatre. We’re a social and cultural hub for Colchester and beyond. A champion of new talent and new ideas. A hothouse of creativity, where each day we strive to delight, excite and celebrate the variety and drama of life. Mercury is a catalyst for connections. We bring communities, audiences and artists together. We work closely with local people, schools, and like-minded organisations, to enable and inspire. We weave skills, experience and vision to create critically acclaimed productions.
