The Mercury Theatre delivers critically acclaimed and award winning theatre to Colchester and surround areas. We work hard to engage people from all backgrounds, of all ages and any ability in the performing arts with a rich and diverse programme of shows and participation activities.

Story

The Mercury Theatre is currently in the midst of the most exciting and transformational time since we opened our doors in 1972. The aim is to create a world class arts venue where the focus is engaging people and bringing the community into a fully accesible building to experience and be part of world class theatre.

The building work has already begun and we are well on our way to presenting Colchester with a beautiful theatre space when the doors open in 2020, but we need your help! we have already raised over £8 million for the project and now have £500,000 left to raise. Will you join us in our fundraising and become part of a legacy for Colchester and performing arts? Start your journey with us today by raising money anyway you can!
