Colchester is a vibrant town with an exciting future: where 2000 years of history sit alongside 21 century culture. The town has a thriving local economy, a growing population, increasing visitor numbers and a wealth of amenities to offer. Whilst Colchester is the oldest recorded town in the country it is a place receptive to new ideas and challenges and with four major regeneration schemes underway across the borough things are starting to happen!

With a £16.5m visual arts and cultural building currently under construction in the town centre, we are now looking for a development partner to help us create Colchester's cultural hub - a place where people can shop, socialise, be entertained, work and live.
