Mercury Theatre Colchester

Who we are

The Mercury 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 likeminded organisations, to enable and inspire. We weave skills, experience
and vision to create critically acclaimed productions.

Everything we do is driven by our values of quality, innovation, diversity, and connection.
